Could you please give some feed-back of how silent the machine runs after your conversion?
The 2.3ghz CPUs already come with heatsinks like the 2.0s do. If you are swapping up to 2.3s, the machine will whirl up since the machine doesn't recognize them. Only way to get them to calibrate would be through the Apple Services Diagnostics CD. Even with that CD I had trouble since it kept throwing errors for the fans. Only way to get it to run quieter would be changing out the fans. Honestly if you pay more for some more silent fans that move more air, the better off you are.
I uploaded a video with the fans changed, but for me it isnt "loud". It was much quieter then having the original fans spin up like a turbine.
Hope this helps...
