Ultra 45 louder than SunBlade 2000


I currently have both a SunBlade 1000 (dual CPU, 750 MHz) and a
SunBlade 2000 (dual CPU, 900 MHz) in my office. I just got a new
Ultra 45 to replace the SunBlade 1000. The Ultra 45 is much louder
than both of the existing machines combined - loud enough that I can't
really work with it on. Unlike the SunBlade machines, the fan never
seems to slow down after the Ultra 45 is booted. The noise is similar
to the SunBlades when booting, except that on the SunBlades the fan
slows down a lot after boot and the machines become fairly quiet.

Is this a known "feature" of the Ultra 45 or is something wrong?
