At the moment...
CPU fan: 499 RPM
PCIe/HDD fan: 499 RPM
Rear fan: 599 RPM
Power Supply: 599 RPM
(Stats from SMC Fan Control)
At these speeds, my Mac Pro 1,1 is clearly audible from across a room, and it's definitely annoying to have next to me on my desk. My GPU is rather loud, but even with it in, the Mac Pro can still be heard from feet away, while my brother's 2008 Mac Pro (filled with lint, while my machine is sparkling clean) is extremely quiet. I know I posted a similar thread about this already, but I wanted to note my fan speeds in this one. If these are totally normal fan speeds (which I am assuming they are), then I may have issues with worn-out fans. Here is a VERY quick video I made of the Mac Pro's loudness. My camera picked up a lot of white noise, but the Mac is still clearly audible:
Here are my current temps with Opera open on MacRumors--they seem good; the CPU A Proximity can be as low as ~85F, and doesn't normally go past ~113F. Northbridge heat-sink is at 151F, which may be cutting it close. My Mac is running with two HDDs, four 1GB RAM sticks, and a Radeon 5770:
