There is this... http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/so-you-want-pwm-control-of-your-3-pin-fan.115752/
You could use any fan controller, or you can buy some sort of resisted adapter, or make a little potentiometer deally like this one I found on eBay...http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/251310564631?lpid=82

In the BIOS

Better to just let it run at 100% it lowers idle temperature which lowers demand when things heat up and lowers the time it takes to return to normal when the CPU goes back to idle.

A lot of 80mm fans are loud at full speed.
Control it using the BIOS and one of the on-board fan headers.
