Q9550 Quiet Cooler

BillHicksRIP · 9 Jan 2009 at 21:56

About to purchase a new rig but am a bit stuck for cooling the Q9550. The box isn't for gaming or overclocking, but am looking for something that will do the trick as quietly as possible. It needs to fit into a Coolermaster Sileo 500 case which is what I'm worried about.

Cheers.

That coolermaster looks like it could fit in a moderately sized heatsink. I have a tuniq core contact on my q6600 and it does a really good job cooling it and my case fans are louder than it so perhaps worth a stab?

Tuniq tower and take the fan off, or put a very slow quiet one in.

Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme, and dont use a fan on it. Like me i have my Qx9650 @ 4,000mhz and no fan on my CPU cooler. Its in an antec 900 case so it gets its good cooling from their.
