Please recommend "quiet"

[Dhanu]

I currently have the Golden Gate 40 Heatsink/fan on a AMD XP 1600 CPU. It's a great cooler; I generally run 36-39 ºC. Unfortunately, the fan is extremely (or at least to me) loud! I want to replace the fan only if possible. Please recommend a fan that is the quietest and will give me sufficient cooling. I won't be overclocking.

I don't mind another heatsink + fan option if it isn't too expensive (under $50); otherwise I would like to just replace the fan.

Please help.

Thanks,
Dhanu...

how about running the fan at 7v instead of 12v? i have the same hsf as you do, and running it at 7v makes my system much quieter.

How do I do that?
