hi

i have built a micro ITX system in a bitfinex prodigy and need help with quieting it down on a budget.

it consists of this:

Bitfinex prodigy M black case

AMD A6-5400K Black Edition 3.60GHz (Socket FM2) APU with stock cooler

ASRock FM2A75M-ITX AMD A75 Chipset (Socket FM2) DDR3 Mini ITX Motherboad

OCZ 480 gig Bigfoot SSD

8 gig of samsung green 1600 mhz ram

Western digital 450 gig velociraptor 10k RPM HDD

Corsair HX650M modular PSU

MSI HD 6670 2048MB GDDR3 PCI-Express Graphics Card

Cooling at present:

1 x stock APU fan replacement needed

1 x Akasa Venom 120 mm fan

1 x stock bitfinex 120 mm fan

other stock fan removed and replaced with venom. will sell these.

any suitable APU silent cooler and case fans. Scythe ones?

i would consider a good watercooler but i won't be overclocking this, i might remove the GPU and sell as i'm not sure if i'll game with it as not worked out how to crossfire yet.
 
I'd recommend the Corsair SP120mm high performance

I've just purchased some and wow, if noise is an issue go for the AF(?)
 
cheers. the birfinex and venoms seem load. although i haven't turned the speed down admittidly. will take a look at the corsair. the CPU fan is very load. need a good cooler for that.
 
Depends on your price really, You can get TWO in a pack for just £23 and free shipping I believe if you have a certain amount of posts
 
I recommend the coolermaster hyper tx3 evo, used one in my bitfenix prodigy and fits very nicely. It's pretty compact so doesn't get in the way on an itx motherboard like full size coolers do.
 
cheers. i'll take a look. may get a nice low profile arctic coller pro v.2 as i remember having one before and it was lovely and quiet.
