Cheap, quiet heatsink recommendations for Athlon LE-1660

[cdmccool]

Just put together my new budget build, and the stock heatsink/fan is easily the loudest fan in the computer. I'm looking to replace it with something a little quieter, and without spending much money.

I will not be overclocking much if at all, and I should have good airflow through my case. I have 1x120mm fan on the front and 1x120mm fan on the back. I also have a 120mm fan on the top which I disconnected to try to cut back on the noise before I decided it was all coming from the cpu heatsink/fan. And of course the dual PSU fans. Maybe I could run a fanless heatsink.

Anyway, this is what I found:

ARCTIC COOLING Alpine64 $12.99 FS

But before I pull the trigger, I just wanted to see if anyone else had a better recommendation. I wouldn't mind spending a little more money if it means better cooling/less noise.

Thank you.

Or this http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16835103031 running passive would probably do the trick

Oooh, I like the Cooler Master TX2 suggestion, and it's just $7 more. I'll probably go with that.

Thanks!

It'll definitely perform much better than the alpine, although with such a low power CPU you don't really need much. Will be good if you ever upgrade in the future and like I said, I'm pretty sure you'd be able to run passive with that if you want
