I built my computer a couple years ago and at the time didn't really care if my computer was loud or not, and went with a Silver Orb CPU. However, things have changed now. I no longer have my AMD 950 overclocked at all and I just want something that will do a sufficient job of cooling it QUIETLY! Right now its loud enough that if I leave the computer on overnight I sometimes have a hard time waking up to my alarm clock in the mornings.
I've looked around at 2cooltek among others and there doesn't seem to be a consistent measurement basis for the loudness. I know this has to be one of the louder fans for Socket A processors, yet according to things I'm seeing it is rated as one of the quietest.... I don't feel like spending a lot on this, as I will be upgrading in a couple months.
Can I get some recommendations?
