Hi guys

I have just put my system into an Antec 900 case and its wicked but the loudest thing I have in the case is the CPU cooler ....!!

Whats the quietest make/model on the market atm please?

thanks in advance

Edit: Big Typhoon 4 looks good?

Anyone got one

Scythe Ninja
Freezer 7 Pro
Tuniq Tower 120

in my experiance theres nothing wrong with

a) the fan that comes with
and
b) yate loons @ 12v

Well I have just ordered a Thermaltake Sonic Tower 4-in-1 Noiseless Heatpipe (Socket 939/754/775/478) CPU Cooler (CL-P0071) from OcUK as I have good case air flow with my new Antec 900............!!

So I'll see how that goes, I may get a silent 120mm to go on IF I think it needs it.

You wont get away with running that cooler (or any other cooler for that matter) passively considering your overclock. You may aswell save yourself the postage and add a 120mm fan to your order. Or just go for a scythe ninja which is a superior cooler and comes with a decent fan quiet anyway.

I've done both ....ordered that cooler and a silent 120mm fan to go with it
