Already ordered the fan, have the mobo, and this goddamn TT Volcano 7 has got to be the loudest freakin fan I've heard, barring jet engines, and thats at its low RPM speed. Anyways, I'm not sure if cap placement and whatnot on my board will limit my choices for HS's, so instead of just going and ordering one (was kinda thinking the PAL8045) I just wanted to get an idea if there are any choices I should definitely NOT consider due to my mobo. I'm running a Duron 750 right now @864mhz and according to the socket thermistor, it idles around 30C and peaks around 39-40C, so cooling is adequate for now, but the fan is just incredibly annoying and I plan on going up to an XP cpu in the very near future, and kinda wanna plan ahead instead of buying a crappy HS now (which I apparently already have) and having to buy another one later due to heat issues.
I have been sorting through here and other sites, but just wanted to get an idea on my specific board so I dont throw 30-40 bucks out the window. A HS suggestion would be great, but if you have a suggestion for a HS using something other than the H1A, by all means tell me 🙂 I'd run these super quiet 80mm papst fans on my HS, but basically, they are quiet, but dont move enough air to cool jack schit 🙂
Thanks in advance.
