Quiet cooling?

[arigo]

I am wondering if there are any reasonable cooling products, which keep your cpu cool, while making little to no noise. I currently have a sk6 with a delta fan that drives me crazy. Also, are there any case designs that allow air to circulate, but muffle/limit the noise from getting to my ears?

My parents have an HP system that hardly makes any noise at all, and I took it apart and noticed an exhaust that went out of the case. The p4 also manages to stay much cooler than my xp, so I'm not a happy camper.

Thanks

Thermaltake Silent Boost.

You'll need a separate fan controller though if you want it to be 'really' quiet, but that's all relative to the noise from the rest of your system. Definitely quieter then your Delta even at full-speed.

The heatsink itself is suppose to be really good, faring well against the SLK-800.

agreed. I would measure the room in your case and check the motherboard compatability chart before purchasing. You may have to return it.
