Silent Running

I've got an NF7-S with an XP2700+ which I plan on overclocking. Any suggestions for a new heatsink/CPU fan? I don't want to spend a fortune, but I do want something that'll cool nicely and won't be loud. I definitely want to keep my rig as quiet possible.
 
The XP 2700+ isn't a great overclocker, don't expect much out of it. Thermalright heatsinks (SLK or ALX series) and a Panaflo or other quiet fan are common combos.

EDIT: The northbridge fan isn't that loud IMO, leave it and see if it's loud to you. Unplug any fans or noise producing devices and see what you think.
 
How about the thermaltake silent boosts? I've seen some good reviews about them.

Any suggestions on multiplier/fsb ratio's?
