Hi

Im looking for more quiet fan for my cpu, I currently have the stock fan installed which is really noisy.
The stock fan looks something like this: Stock fan
My motherboard is Gigabyte ga-z77m-d3h and I have Intel i5 3570k processor which has LGA1155 socket.
I found this website which has coolers for this socket, so is the cheapest one from there a good option or are there better?

I was thinking about this as this is the cheapest option: https://www.quietpc.com/gelid-siberian-pro

Specs:
Mobo Gigabyte ga-z77m-d3h
CPU Intel i5 3570k 3.4-3.8Ghz
Memory Agata 2x 4gb 1333 + G.Skill 2x 4gb 1333 (coming soon)
GPU MSI 1060 gtx gaming x 6gb (coming soon), current is AMD Radeon 6850 1gb
Power Corsair 450w

Well, the Hyper 212 evo is popular and apparently quiet too, I could get used unit with around 20eur and what i've read, the fan makes around 35dB under load

On the other hand, that site says the Gelid siberian pro makes only 10dB - 23.5dB... Hmm
(Edit: I just red somewhere, that the Gelid is probably not a good option, if someone has experience please tell)

do you have any budget range for a cooler in mind? for something cheap the Hyper 212 is a really good cooler, but if you can afford and if it would fit your case, the be quiet dark rock 4 would be a good cooler too.

My budget is around 20-30eur, what ever is most quiet for that price.. Best deal Ive found is that 212 evo for 30eur, but i keep searching, maybe there is a model which is more quieter... I mean, for me the most important part for me is the noise level

-- I ordered a be quiet! pure rock slim, hope it will do the job
