you know the CPU is being cooled. The alternative is the tricky task of
making sure you have adequate air flow in the case to cool the heat sink

Either seek out the most humungous heat sink you can lay your hands on,
or seek out a quieter fan.
So far, no one has posted a source of really quiet fans. Of course, a
good quiet fan that pumps lots of air can also cause your case to hum
