If it turns out I can use the Alpha 8045 heatsink in my motherboard I would like to use a fan in the low 30's in DBA for noise.
I have found several fans that have ratings of 34 DBA or under with just slightly under 40CFM.
Will this be enough for the 8045?
If I cannot use the 8045, but can use the Swiftech will this be enough for that?
If not in either case what would be a good CFM rating to use for good cooling while being able to keep my sanity.
AMD XP 1700+ CPU
Soltek 266a motherboard, arriving tomorrow
Thanks,
Mark
