    so the fan noise i am anticipating is just like playing the lottery correct, some have it and some don't?


    the solution is to download that fan control program right? and get the latest bios?

    does this just mask the noise a little bit or does it actually work? thanks in advance. :)

    this will solve the throttling issue right?

    Yep, just make sure you don't get the ultraslim 90watt.
