Very Noisy Fan

Hi everyone, my brother has bought an HP Pavilion EG780AA a1228.uk and I've
found me self volunteered to reformat the HD, re-install the O/S etc !
All seems to be fine with the PC except that the fan is driving me mad it's
SO noisy.
Google tells me that this is a well known problem with the HP Pavilion
EG780AA a1228.uk
I have installed SpeedFan v4.37 and have experimented with it and now have
settings which make for a far quieter machine without sacrificing cooling to
any noticeable degree (sorry about the terrible pun).
Where I need some help is that I would like this programme to run at startup
with the settings I have evolved to and can't see any way of achieving this.
If anyone has a solution for this or can help with another method of keeping
the fan quieter I would be most grateful
TIA

- replace fan with quieter one
- small carpet lined box over air output, with L shaped air path
- glue damping material to case on the inside

I agree get him to buy and install a better fan. Every HD reformat would
need speedfan reinstalled and newer cpu fans are getting quieter and cool.

best thing is to damp the inside of your case, that will reduce some
vibrations

Buckets of water work well for dampening. Keeps things cool as well. No need
for those noisy fan things.
