You can find fans with thermal sensors on them or but a fan control
unit. In most cases I find the first not as configurable as I want and
the second to be too much of an added expense so when I have a fan
noise problem I use the +7V mod like the link below and it
signifigantly cuts the noise but still provides adequate cooling for
my systems.
