I am about to put a small PC together based on this board.

Does anyone have any experience of the temperatures / cooling and noise for this board?

I am going to put 2 DDR3 sticks in, and probably a passive NVidia card.

My main concern is the 40mm CPU fan - how quiet and effective is this?
I am toying with replacing it with a 120mm fan, and will have to play with the positioning to ensure I do not reduce the cooling to the CPU.

The Tech Support guys at ASRock tell me - The maximum allowed load on that fan header is 1A. That should be more than enough for any standard fan.

The case will be a - CoolerMaster Elite 130 Mini ITX Case
I plan on a front 120mm slow/quiet fan to give possitive air pressure inside.

The PSU will extract some air, and is a Be Quiet Pure Power 300W
