Hi Guys,

I have a quite old setup of hardware which is still fine for my pusposes. The only thing is, that the CPU fan is massively loud and this is pretty annoying.
So I'm looking for a super silent fan to replace my old "Alpenföhn" fan. So it would be great, if you could share some recommendations.

I already activated the Smart Fan Control in BIOS. Even on low CPU consumption the fan is very loud.

Thanks & Merry Christmas 😀

Specs:
OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro / 10.0.19045 Build 19045
CPU: AMD FX(tm)-6100 Six-Core Processor, 3548 MHz, 3 Kern(e), 6 logische(r) Prozessor(en)
MB: MSI Military 970A-G46 (MS-7693)
BIOS-Version: American Megatrends Inc. V2.8, 08.01.2016
RAM: 16,0 GB
 
You can consider as well the Noctua NH-U12S or be quiet Dark Rock Pro 4 for a quieter CPU fan. Important is to ensure compatibility with your motherboard and case... A tip is to apply thermal paste during installation for optimal performance.
 
Your case is the same as me. I have FX-6300 stock fan that so loud even when idle. So i buy a cheap CPU Cooler KYO SAMA KA200D about $10. OMG The difference is night and day. So silent, but the cpu temperature is still the same. 30-40c when idle hence cheap. But i don't mind. Cos that what i am looking for (The silent cpu fan). But if you can't find this CPU Cooler, you can buy DeepCool AK400 it a bit more high quality fan cooler $29.99 at amazon.
