Hmmm looks like I will just have to live with the sound the H/S fan makes it sounds like a hair dryer.

What brand/model is the board?

Do you have any pictures?

What size is the fan?   Maybe you can just remove the fan, not the heatsink, and attach a larger quieter fan with a volume reducer.

Edgedamage:
Here it is. I had the same thought about changing the fan.

Your fan is removable.  Remove it.  It should only be two or four screws depending on how badly they wanted it to stay on.   SAVE THOSE SCREWS!  Make sure you look around for a quieter fan, some list decibels as well as cfm.  Look for a quieter one than you already have.
Edgedamage:
Looks like I will get one of these.
