i want to quieten my CPU fan by dropping the speed very slightly (globalwin, just a tad too loud) CPU is running at 46C full load so not a problem there.. i want to do this using a variable resistor (rheostat) but can't find anywhere to buy the one 1 want... 25ohm 3W, maplins list a 100ohm 2W on their site but would rather get the other, any ideas??

 

breakers yard mate

try your local friendly dismanlter

 

Not sure they do a rheostat, but they are worth a look for an alternative http://www.quietpc.com/products.html
