SK-6 and Athlon 1.4 GHZ Question

I have a thermalright sk-6 with the ytech 40 cfm fan and artic silver 2 on my athlon 1.4 ghz....
This is one loud computer, anyway, i got this setup for overclocking but now i got a new setup.


My question is, can i get a QUIETER fan with around 30 cfm?
If so will it still cool enough for my 1.4 athlon?
Where can i buy fans from?


Thank You! My ears will appreciate it very much!!
 
I'm running an Athlon XP 1600+ with my SK6 and 7k RPM Delta, any my temps are 30C idle and 37 load, I don't recommend getting quieter fans for the SK6, since it is copper, which insulates heat more than aluminum. However copper absorbs heat faster than aluminum, by using a quieter fan, which means less CFM, you loose the ability to dissapate heat from the SK6.

<< What about getting an adapter and putting on a 80cm fan? Is this possible? >>



Yes, it's very possible. No adapter needed!! Just turn your 80mm fan on a diagonal.
