Which fan should I get with a SVC Goldengate? See fans here. I wan't something that will do a good job, but doesn't make my computer sound like a 747 ;). It will be used on a 1.4GHz TBird that I might overclock in the future.

TIA, micron

Well, that heatsink needs a lot of airflow to be really good, so if you want performance and silence, it isn't going to happen. However, a decent 25-30 cfm 60mm fan should work, like this one perhaps or maybe this one

However, a 1.4TBird puts out a great deal of heat, and with a low cfm fan, you wont be able to keep it very cool if you pan on overclocking. However, it should do a fairly good job and will allow you some headroom.

Thanks SWScorch :). The more I think about it, I think I might get a SK-6 ;).
