Heatsink for cpu

[necrominator]

I have a 1.1 ghz athalon processor and an msi motherboard. I built the computer myself and it works beutifully, just one problem the cpu fan is too loud, does anyone know where I can buy a nice and quiet cpu fan, shouldnt be too expensive though, thanks.

A good reivew I pisked was at icrontic.com. I bought the Vantec CCK-6027D HSF in case you'd like to buy on of these also. Cheap, right price and not loud as others. Incase you like it to be quiet, try to get Panaflo (sp) fans, they're the highest rated and quietest ones, but abit pricey for my range.


Also, the Thermal Grease like Artic Silver II / III can help alot if your worried about temperature

GC68 is also supposed to be very good, quiet, and reasonably cheap.

I totally agree with that! I recently put one of these on each of two 1.13 Athlons with great success. Non-overclocked temps are 32-35C. Running at 1.25 went to 37-38C. All this with the stock fan. Not bad for under $15.00. YMMV and keep in mind that both cases had good airflow over the CPU (side 80mm blowhole).
