Quiet Heatsink/fan

[Becks2k]

I have a c2 600@900 1.85v with a goldenorb in a slotket.

I'm tring to make my case quieter..... any sugestions? BTW, isn't there 2 fans used in goldenorbs, a 4600rpm and a 4200rpm? mine is 4600rpm, would 4200rpm sound at all different?

There is also a 92mm fan right behind it blowing out to help cool the cpu... heat isn't a real problem.

i dunno exaclty you'd have to do some sufing and check out all the db ratings of the different heatsink/fan combos. Slower fans tend to be quieter though

you could put some dynamat on the inside of your case,it absorbes sound very well.Sold in car audio shops.

There are many 3 ways to get a quieter system:

1. Get a bigger heatsink (like an Alpha) with a quiet fan so you don't lose too much cooling performance.

2. Get quieter case fans, this one is obvious.

3. And finally get a quieter power supply as some are noticeably less noisy due to the fans they use.
