Vantec 6027D copper HSFs buzzing/rattling/singing up a storm- suggestions for different model?

Title pretty much says it all... this is a client's dual Athlon MP 1900+ system and these Vantecs have just become embarassingly loud over time. I'm looking for another higher quality HSF model to use to replace these two, which are fortunately still under warranty from NewEgg. I'd like for them to be copper, but they have to fit the MSI K7D Master. Suggestions? Post 'em! TIA.

I just installed a vantec 6012 and its pretty quiet. Its 1U cooler and has a small fan and heatsink. The fan only pushes like 21 cfm's or something like that. You can find a review of it at 3dgameman.com.

Cool- what kind of proc is that sitting on? Would it stay nice and cool (and quiet!) on my client's setup?

Scratch that, my temps were pretty high with the vantec 6012, so I returned it and ordered a gc68 w/a panaflow instead. Hope the temps are better.

Please let me know what you think of that unit when you get it in- I would appreciate it!

PANAFLO'S RULE!! temps are around 45-50 C, but the peace that I get from the barely noticable fan noise is priceless. Very happy with this ~$14 cooler that came with 2 fans (original price was $8 w/stock fan, then I added the panaflo for 6 bucks more). SVC GC68
By the way, this fan may not fit if you got little space around the socket. It uses an 80mm fan. Hpe this helps.

Wow! Impressive HSF unit you linked to there... I'm liking the price too. I will bookmark that and check it out, although I'm not sure I can get two of those to fit on an MPX dually board.
