CPU fan

[Andrzej_Pl]

I want to kill the noise from my box Athlon cooler and I have 4 choices

- Scythe Kamakiri 6xheatpipe
- Zalman CNPS 7700-AlCu
- Thermaltake SilentTower 4 in 1 -21 dBA
- Aerocool HT-101 Tower/Junior

They are at same price range, and each of them looks cool (apart from zalman that looks as ordinary fan ;p)

So which shall I choose?

I just bought that silent tower cooler, but I haven't installed it yet. I have a case that should be here today, and if it shows up I will be installing it tonight. I just wanted to let you know that the thing is massive. I think you have to remove you factory heat sink mount from the motherboard and bolt on a bunch of their hardware to mount it (to hold the extra weight). I'll post back when I get the thing installed.
