Want something that is a great and maybe not too terribly bad on the ears if ya know what I mean.

But options are nice here...efficiency, loudness, speed, etc..

Would like to see a lot of options here with maybe some feedback on your recommendation
 
I have a ThermalTake Venus 12 on mine right now, and it does pretty well for me. It's noisy as hell if you crank it all the way, but if you put at a little more than a third of it's power it's nice and quiet. Basically it's the same as the TT Silent Boost if you turn it down to the same RPMs as that hsf, but it has the potential to be much cooler if you crank it up. My idle temps at stock settings with the fan down to where it's unnoticible are about 29c, when I crank it up it sits around 27c, with the occasional dip to 26. Currently OCed to 2.2 from 2 ghz, I have the fan where it can't be heard over my other fans, and it idles at 31c. I'm too lazy to measure my temps under load :) . But my definition of quiet may be different than yours... i have 8 powerful case fans. But even before I put all the fans in, if you put it at about 1/3 it's nice and quiet.
 
More opinions PLZ! I am considering buying A64 3200+ OEM and I need a recommendation as well. Thanks!
