Replacement HSF fans?

[vash]

Anyone know where/if you can buy replacement HSF fans? My current fan is a 6800 RPM fan, which is a bit loud, but I really like the heat sink itself (all copper, Coolermaster heatpipe). I had a 5500rpm fan before (in another computer) and found it to be much quieter than this one. Who sells these replacement fans online? Which size should I be looking at? My heatsink is 80x60x44mm, so I assume a fan of similar size would fit, but who sells those online?

Have you tried the link above? Most online vendors offer the option for a seperate/upgrade fan. AFAIK, your Cooler Master uses a 60mm fan, right?

Well, the heatsink itself is 80x60x40mm, and the fan itself covers the entire width and length of the heatsink, so I'll assume they are the same. I'll check out the link posted and see how that goes. I would really, really enjoy a 5-5500k rpm fan, the existing copper base is more than enough to keep the core cool.

The size replacement fan you should be looking for is 60mm, this is the Cooler Master HHC-001 right?
The current fan your using sounds too be the the famous delta ScreEeeEAmER! (46.5db / 36cfm) I feel your pain those are very annoying fans, i can't stand em The 5500 RPM one your talking about is most likely the slower version of that the Delta 39db / 30cfm, its not really that much of a difference but i guess if your used too the screamer then you'd probably be able too tell, over time you'll find this one too loud too.

If your not overclocking, you should be able too back down too a very quiet fan like the Sanyo Denki H speed, its 28db / 21cfm. It may not seem much but the cooler master heatsink is a big heatsink so your CPU will be comfortable with this slow of a fan. (i've seen this heatsink equiped with a 14cfm fan)
Reason why i recommend the Sanyo Denki is it blows its air out very strong, more then it actully feels (high pressure) perfect for a HS, and the quality on these fans are really great. Do a search on the for sale forum for quiet 60mm fan.

Thanks Gizzo for the information. Yes, the existing fan is uber loud. AT 6800rpm and 46db, its quite noticeable for sound and I want to really run that down a it. I'm sure the heatsink/heatpipe is gonna keep the CPU cool for a while, but the noice is annoying. I saw some Sunon fans, that were around 4500rpm and I think those would be plenty fine for what I want to do (just run the CPU, no O/Cing). Eventually, I'm going to run SMP Athlon XPs, so keeping the noise down for 2x CPUs is going to be a priority.
