You can control the speed of rotation of fans right up to their full stop with the help of special buttons. But don’t make haste to rejoice, the matter is not so simple.

At first take up the most important object, the processor. Manufacturers install mostly the cheapest cooler. Something like that.
This “Made in China” device costs 7-8 dollars. Cheap price is its only advantage. The cooler copes with cooling meanly and drones like a small vacuum cleaner. Conclusion is clear: it’s necessary to buy a new cooler. In my opinion, there are many equal variants. You may choose, for example, Zalman 7700, Zalman CNPS9500, Termaltake Big Typhoon, Ice Hummer, etc. The first two are better, the last one is cheaper. The cost varies between 30-80 dollars. Each model has its own disadvantages. The common for all disadvantages are heavy weight, almost a kilogram, and a huge size, up to fourteen centimeters, and, surely, difficulty with installation.
