Axe FX II Very Nice, But the Fan Noise is Going to Make My Head Explode

Sold my Ultra and got the II a couple days ago.

Having a lot of fun with the sounds and really appreciate the headphone jack. I need it because this is the loudest piece of gear in my studio (Genelec, ProTools HD, dual Xeon, mass quantities of outboard). The fan sounds like the speed is changing all over the place whining like a dying animal in the middle of the road. Pretty much, I'm not exaggerating. Has anyone found a solution for this? Even if the speed wasn't varying I'm pretty sure this would be too loud. I didn't like this about the Ultra but tolerated it. The Eventide H8000 by comparison sucks more power and is way quieter. I gotta do something. Thanks for any tips.
