noise reducing and increasing the cooling on my system

medrep · 3 Mar 2006 at 19:32

Hi all,

I am using the stock fan that came with my AMD Athlon 64 3700+ I want to reduce noise with my system and increase the overall cooling. It is stock (not overclocked) but will be looking to do so in the future. Also I have clocked my GeForce 7800GT but again looking to increase cooling (and reduce noise) to this too. Can I have any advice on this? I don't want to spend a fortune as already looking at buying a raptor, seagate 200gb and some Acoustic Energy Aego M 2.1 Speakers.

Final point, what are your views on the stock fans on the Silverstone Temjin TJ04? Would upgrading these increase the cooling and reduce further noise?

thanks

Arctic Freezer 64 for the CPU

Zalman VF700 for the graphics card (or wait for the new VF900)

And Panaflo case fans (OCUK dont sell them)

Thanks Explicit,

is the Zalman FS-V7 Fatal1ty Copper VGA Cooler easy to fit (from your link)? I have the OcUK GeForce 7800GT 256MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) Graphics card.

thanks again

Got my credit card at the ready.. is fitting a new cooler to my graphics card a easy enough job?

I'm not too sure as I've never had one of them, try google for a review and see what comes up.

But if I remember correctly, you just screw it down to a backplate (I think)
