As per title, is there a cpu that will run noise-less with a passive massive cooler?
Doesn't need to be fast, about as fast as a 2ghz northwood or 2400+ amd XP or faster.

Want to build a file & download & routing server that can run 24/7 but make no noise, that can be cooled by in total 2 VERY low rpm fans that are practicly unhearable. Would prefer a cpu though that is on a socket that has mainboards with gigabit lan onboard, and erm, price is a 2nd requirement, as cheap as possible.
 
Hmm how fast are they? Comapared to a normall ''netburst'' p4 ?
I know nothing of Conroe-L celerons :confused:.
I still calculate the performance into netburst speeds :p.
Eg. a 3ghz c2d = 2 x a 6 ghz p4 :p.


Raikiri I renember ( I think) that you used to recommend me fans, do you know any VERY silent fans that are unhearable ? Eg. 400 rpm or something silly with 18dB or so?
