everyone knows that the chipset fan of A8N makes really loud noise.

I did some research, and got some results:

first, there's not much company makes chipset cooler, and Zalman's fanless NB47 is not suit, because the chipset is in the middle of two VGA cards, the surroundings air is hot. so......... forget the fanless

the first thing I want to said is thermalright's NB-1C.

it might have a good performance, but it is just alittle bit high.

L29 x W48.5 x H41 (mm) and that's Fin only, without fan.

If you are using original heat sink of 6800 Series, that's fine, this is the best for you.

but if you are using silenter, this is out of our list again ( because of the height)

so, the only thing I find left there is Vantec's CCB-A1C

I read some review, seems this thing's performance is normal, but very quiet.

May be I will just buy Vantec's CCB-A1C. If you have a better suggestion , plz reply
