Need a low priced quiet fan

[Rydawg5143]

775 socket, p4 3.0 ghz w/HT. Let me know please, the one I bought is 5 times louder than the stock fans for my AMD chips :P

No stock unfortunately ATM but works great for the price....keeps my E6600 temps down.

Do you have a controller to reduce the speed on the fan you are using? When I installed an aftermarket hsf i thought it was really loud until I went into speed fan and reduced the speed to 50%.

Try that before spending more money maybe.

How much are you willing to spend?
Can't beat the Xigmatek at $30, but I don't know how loud it is.

The Cooler Master TX2 is pretty good.

I also use the TX2. It does a good job but it's pretty loud if you don't have a fan controller

I have the TX, it only fits 775. Mine is not any louder than my Freezer 64 pro, but maybe my Tforce 965PT runs the fan slower. Even with a Q6600 at 3.5 folding it was quiet.

Fan or HSF?

[Blazestorm]

Stock HSF is one of the quietest rated fans isn't it? Not the best cooling but supposed to be super quiet...

Depends on what you need I guess...

This one is just awesome........ I use one to every customer I build a computer for, there is an AMD version as well. You should be able to find it at a better priced back there in the US. These only cost 15 EUR here in Germany.

Yea, AC7's are normally around $20... but Newegg's pricing fluctuates a lot

I agree, AC7/64's are perfect for most dual-cores, mediocre for quad-cores.

At 37.99 you would have to be mentally handicapped to make that purchase. The xigmatek is leaps and bounds better than the acp7 and it's cheaper. No-brainer here folks!! (I"m sure you were referring to it back when it was cheaper)

$11ish is the cheapest shipping. So it comes out to $34ish after shipping while the Xigmatek is $36 + free shipping.

It's a no-brainer to spend the extra $2 for the extra performance. :p
