I once had a cpu fan that was too noisy, but when I put a variable speed
control on it I could adjust it manually [as it wasn't an automatically
adjusting one] and I found that the cpu was just as cool at a lower
speed as at a higher speed.

If I were a gamer, I might have used an automatically adjusting one.

I like cpu coolers that have a lot of 'muscle' in the cooler's
construction, convection and radiation copper and aluminum beef and good
contact medium, so that the fan doesn't have to spin fast or noisily.

Maybe your fan could go a teensy slower.  The manual variable speed
control devices are very very cheap and easily installed.

Ha!
