Looking for quiet fan

[JamesN]

Hi,
I notice that my CPU's fan makes too much of noise and I would like to replace it by a third party heat sink and quiet fan. Here is my system specs:

AMD64 3500+ Winchester with stock fan and heat sink
MSI K8N Neo2 Plat

I am thinking of using the XP-90 heat sink from ThermalTake. Any suggestion for a quiet fan? I need something that is quiet yet blows a good amount of air. Thank you in advance!

Definately go with a [edit]92mm Tornado...that's what i paired up with.

<grins wolfishly>...for no reason

In fact...i'll sell you mine...i had it on my xp90 for a while...and it was so um quiet um i don't hear anything...coming out of that machine anymore. ( >< ) G-dmt =D

I thought the XP-90 can only fit the 92mm and 80mm fans. Am I mistaken?

Try a <A HREF="http://heatsinkfactory.com/cgi-bin/HFAstore.pl?user_action=detail&catalogno=CF-013" target="_new">Panaflo 120mm</A> if it will fit in your case.

HANDS DOWN, go with the XP-90C (Not the xp-90, the xp-90C) it is the all copper version. i just got mine and, god its unbelievable. for a fan, go with a thermaltake 90mm cross flow silent fan. it will give you unbelievable cooling and silence. you'll probably push that winnie to 2.7GHZ (mine is running at 2.75 right now!!)(im using a vantec tornado 92mm tho, and my case is open.)you can get the xp-90c at heatsinkfactory.com or frozencpu.com its heavy and expensive, but it will give you the maximum performance with a low noise 90-92mm fan. christ i tend to ramble.
