You can't possibly believe this is difficult to solve.

This requires the avilability of a room to move it to. (This isn't my
house, remember?)

Well, buy a whole new PC perhaps... This one is powered by a lowly
Athlon64 X2 4200+. Cutting edge a while back, but obsolete now.
Most of the noise, however, comes from the GPU fan. And the 4 HDs...

There is no noticable variation in the loudness of the system. It sounds
just as loud under no load as it does with 100% CPU and GPU load and all
drives thrashing madly.

No. But given the noise problem, I have little incentive to dismantle
the case to try to figure out how to disable the fan LEDs without
disabling the fans themselves.

Erm, electrical tape? (Wasn't this discussed here recently?)

Running Windows? Go google for "speedfan" and throw it on there. It takes
some playing to get right, sometimes.

Have you ever heard of ... electrical tape? Blue light is blocked by some
very tiny bits of matter.

OOI I switched off Vista's UAC to install the new Beta and speedfan reported the
HDD temp. When I switched UAC on again only the core temperature showed.

Are you running speedfan as administrator? I do believe Vista has some weird
ideas about what's privileged and what isn't. :-)

You're telling me :)
I'm running it in an administrator account but not as administrator. When I ran
it as administrator I got both temps. But only the HDD temp shows in the task
bar, the core temp does not.

The administrator account by default has UAC turned off. Maybe that's what
you mean, or maybe that's info new to you, but I suspect it's the explanation.

I think the task bar only shows one temperature, and it's set with a
checkmark somewhere in the UI that says which it shows. As long as you see
it on the full window, it's being monitored. (Same with the fan speed, if
you display that instead.)

I have the UAC turned on, on this administrator account I meant that by
selecting the program from the start menu, right clicking and selecting "Run as
administrator"

I could not find that checkmark.

I cannot see the fan speed at all, at all.
No big deal.
