I have a stock CPU cooler on my Athlon 2800+ with an Abit NF7-S Rev.2. It's in an Antec Sonata case. It's sounded fairly loud lately. So, I'm wanting to get a quiet CPU cooler. I've thought about getting one of the Zalman CNPS7000 series, but according to their charts, it's incompatible with my board, so I'm looking for suggestions. Thanks!

I picked up a thermaltake silent boost RX k7 from newegg and so far it works great. Now the only real audible fan in my p150 is the chipset fan (also a NF7-s rev2 ^^) wich is actually slowly dieing. I was thinking of clipping the plastic supports on the current fan and using a stickied passive cooler on it.

Thanks! I already had to replace my Northbridge fan...that one died disappointingly quick. I replaced it with a Zalman heatsink version and all seems to be fine. I'm really leaning toward the Thermalright Pyrokinetic mentioned.
