Does anyone have a M57p Eco USFF (Core2 Duo 3.0g) and can share your experience with hushing it up? Mine roars from about the time it is started up. I have searched the net and there was a bios update for other SFF machines for the same problem but it does not apply to this machine.

I am hesitant to start replacing/testing aftermarket fans because you have to cut all the factory rubber mounts to remove the stock fan. Has anyone experimented with swapping in an aftermarket fan?
