Just glancing at your rig, I suggest you take a straw and listen to the stock cooler, the GTX 560 and your PS. All 3 of those looks suspect to me as far as noise goes.
a straw? man why didn't i think of that! :O
either way though, i have 3 more slots to put fans in and also Ive been hearing that the aftermarket coolers such as the coolermaster hyper 212+ will drop 20degrees celcius off during full load. that sounds tasty to me.
im just looking for fans on tigerdirect.com for blue led 120mm fans that match the one that is already in the case.
i dont know if i should loyal up and get everything matching thermaltake with thermaltake fans and the thermaltake contact 30 cpu cooler or go with the coolermaster hyper212 and different fans.
the thermaltake contact 30 has a 120mm blue led fan on it, kind of like the one that is already in my case.

I have this magazine called the Pc Builders Bible from PC Gamer Magazine. They highly reccomended the Cooler Master Hyper 212+. Also Ive been reading reviews on tigerdirect.com (
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicat...1&csid=ITD&recordsPerPage=5&body=#ReviewStart) such for that such as:
-dropped the temp on six core cpu down to 30 degrees cent.used it in full tower case.
-Ive read losts of reviews before buying this product. Let me tell you, it does not disppoint. I was saying to myself ok this product may be good but not that good. Boy was I wrong. Its inexpensive, relatevely quiet and it works. I went from around high 50s at load to barely the mid 30s on a AMD 965 BE x4. Idle stays in min 20s. I was using stock cooler. Never again. If your looking for an aftermarket cooler, you will not be disappointed with this one.
-Very Great cooler. For 25 bucks it does the job very well. First thing I don't like it blocks the first two slots of my ram, so I had to move them over. Second, the installation manual stinks! So I did a quick search on youtube and that was more helpful then the guide it comes with. If you have a low profile ram then go ahead and get this or you might run into problems. CPU Temps: Idle 20, Load 35.
but no other good reviews for the Thermaltake Contact 30 other than
-So this is a great cooler; works awesome I must say. I like the blue LED personally. Do not go smaller than a mid size case though, otherwise you'll have issues with the case cover. My only gripe is that the radiator fins (whatever you wanna call them) are a bit flimsy so be careful if your adjusting the fan. My AMD Phenom II is running at between 26 and 30 degrees C, and you MOUNT this thing to the board - no cheesy clips, but if you got an IQ above 50, instructions are easy to follow, lol.
-great cooler its a little flimsy and you have to be careful but when you get it installed it works really well. Running amd Black Edition at 3.9 at 35c idle.
-I used with 1090T x6 processor - stock everything. As long as your DIMMs are standard height on a GF980A M S I board, things clear splendidly as far as RAM. Hell of a retainer bracket, yet easy to get on and off if need be. Can be set up as push pull setup, includes fan mounts for doing so. Blue LED is so 2004, but you can either snip the LEDs, or pick some other fan. Pretty darn quiet at full blast, and also works perfect in an Antec 900 case or any with a 200cm fan on top.
I think i might just go with the cooler master hyper 212+. I am not overclocking. I just want my stuff to be fail safe.
Now all I need is suggestions for fans. Anyone help?
