I purchased an expensive Zalman CNPS9700-NT a while back for my QX9650 @ 3.66Ghz. Although my temps are pretty good (33idle, <60 F@H all day), the noise is unbearable!
I came across this site http://www.frostytech.com/top5heatsinks.cfm which lists the best performing and quietest cpu coolers in their opinion.
I am considering the Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme CPU Cooler as I can strap a quieter 120mm fan onto it.
What does everyone think about this cooler, and which 4-pin 120mm fan is good & quiet (my mobo (SIIE) has that 4-pin connector, so need a fan with that plug)?
cheers
