Moderate to low volume - best cooling

Ok I'm ordering the following today:

Barton 2500+ from Newegg
Abit NFS-7 2.0 from excaliburpc
Corsair XMS 3700 2x256 from googlegear

Now I need a good HSF to get this setup to OC nice.
Volume is kind of a factor - Of course, my current athlon has a 60mm Delta (38dBA, not the uberloud one)

Any suggestions....as long as its quieter then the one i have now certainly with the lower pitch...
<35 dBA will probably do me - I just want max cooling performance from there.....

I was thinking slk800u and SmartFan 2 - any other suggestions?
(and if ya have any suggestions for better places to get the stuff above, don't hesitate to offer it up 😉 )
 
You got my vote for the SmartCaseFan II, this is an excellent fan.

The SLK800u should do you fine, coupled with the smartcasefan II you should get some decent performance out of it as well as it being quiet when there is less stress on the cpu, which is when you notice sound the most from a static speed fan such as a delta,tornado,etc.

The only other reccomendation I'd give is possibly the coolermaster Aero +7 which will give you very quiet cooling but not as efficient as the SLK800 but still good non the less.

My fav place for goodies such as these are over @ SVC.COM
