Hello,
I am looking for a recommendable CPU cooler for a old Asus A8N-VM mainboard (Socket 939).
It should be rather silent - max of 30 dBA.
I tried a Scythe KATANA 3 SCKTN-3000A, but the cooling fins of the onboard GPU are rather close to the socket, so I could not use the locking mechanism of the CPU cooler without damaging the fins.
Now I am trying to find a silent CPU cooler that will actually fit the motherboard.
Anyone can come up with one?
