Here is my current setup:
* Cooler Master Elite 330
* Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H 780G motherboard
* AMD X2 AM2 5600+
* 4GB Kingston ValueRam (4x1gb)
* EVGA 8600GTS 512MB video card
* 2X Dell E207WFP 20" WS LCD
My CPU fan is extremely loud when the motherboard "smart cpu fan" kicks in and the fan is maxing out at 4500rpm. It is the original stock HSF with Artic Silver thermal grease. If I turn the smart control off...the fan constantly stays at 4500rpm. Can anyone recommend me a good and quiet HSF for the cpu?
I also have two 120mm fans in the front and rear....they are the CoolerMaster brand I believe and probably contribute to a lot of the noise too. All in all I want to quiet this puppy down. When I am editing my HD video....the thing sounds like it wants to take off! Any recommendations on 120mm quiet fans?
Also, do the Quad-Core chips run cooler than the chip I have now?
