Can someone help me please? My cpu fan ...

I recently did a minor upgrade to my downstairs living room computer. I switched out the mobo and added a 7600gs 512mb card. So anyway everything posts properly and the system is stable but the cpu fan (Fox''something'') is sounding like a jet engine. I re-applied some thermal paste and my temps hover around 45-48 C. CPU-P4 2.53Mobo - MSI 865 neo2-vRAM dual channel 512's adding up to 1GB.If you need more spec info then do ask. So what is causing this? I've tried all I can with the bios. There is no smart fan or qfan setting. What can I do? Can someone help me please? My cpu fan ...
A change of fan? If you have the stock Intel heatsink, switch back to that one and see if you get the same results.Can someone help me please? My cpu fan ...
Yeah I sorta figured it might be the fan or something. Maybe it's time to go liquid. I'll buy a new fan tomorrow and see if that helps
theres no point in buying liquid cooling for a pentium 4.

I just want quiet. This thing is ear-damaging as it is.
Maybe try flashing the BIOS to a newer version would give you the option for fan settings?Also, are you sure you hooked up the CPU fan to the right connector? I doubt you didn't, but it's worth asking.
does the board support difference fan speeds? have you installed the m/b chipset drivers?
Just buy a good Zalman heatsink and fan they are quite and work quite well. Not to mention they are way cheaper than water cooling.
