I've lurked around this forum for a week or so but haven't seen this question asked (or at least adequately answered.) I have a *Slot 1* P3 750 running nicely at 900mhz with a cheap fry's dual fan heatsink. I know it gets hot in there, and I'd like to get a better cooler.

Can anyone recommend a cooler that isn't too loud?

System specs:
P3-750 @ 900
ABIT BE6
ELSA Geforce2 GTS/Pro 64mb (any way to tell which I have??)
256mb PC133 RAM
IBM UltraStar 9gb
SBLive

Er...I know where to find them, I was looking for opinions on fans for Slot 1 processors that people have and are getting good results with.

toph99: Um, thanks but...

From my post: "Can anyone recommend a cooler that isn't too loud?"

From the 2cooltek store page you linked to: "Loud as heck, but cooler than cool."

This computer is sitting in my room 3 feet from my bed, and 3 feet from a 900mhz Athlon o/c'd too. I need QUIET! (but overclockable :p)

Seriously, I'm looking for a good balance of quiet and cooling.

Without a doubt, Globalwin VOS32. Best cooler I ever used. It's a little loud, but I have had louder.

I'll second the VOS-32 and I don't think they are all that loud. If the noise was too loud to be acceptable you could just replace the 60mm fans with any that were not as loud.

I have a dual fan ALPHA. My 650 runs at 910, it can do more for 24/7. I have never noticed the noise......besides PC fan noise is comforting too me.:)

I'd recommend you get a good extra case fan behind the CPU. I would, but my microATX won't fit one. But it would make a big difference.

I ordered the Alpha P3125 with 23.5cfm Sunon fans from 2cooltek. Ouch, expensive ($45.) If those are too loud, I'll order some quieter ones, but I think they'll be fine. At least I know it will be cooler, I can't find my thermistor for the motherboard (it's an add-on wire) so I have absolutely no idea how warm it's getting.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.
