Silent Opteron Cooling

Hey everyone,

I am building a new dual opteron (285) system and I am trying to minimize the db level. Aside from water cooling, what is the best option?

thanks!
 
I'm guessing 2 Thermalright si-120's wont fit? You'd probably need a smaller heatsink with a 92mm fan, so something like the xp-90 with a low speed fan should provide decent cooling and minimal noise.
 
The Arctic Cooling Alpine 64 is very small and cools 10% better than stock. It's the quietest cooler on the market right now
 
If you have space, drop in two Si-120s and put Nexus fans on all of them. Guaranteed silent or your money back 😛.
 
I run xp 90's with nexus 92mm fans they are silent and the cpus never see above 48c thats with the fan at 1000 rpm or so.What case and motherboard are you using?
 
heh, I remember THAT experiment. but it was vegetable oil. Silent indeed, but stinky.... 'twas good for a laugh though.
