I currently have an asus and an amd 2600+ chip watercooling [i plan on upgrading within the next few months]. I want to get out of the w/c area because it was cool 2 years ago when i first did it, now its boring. During the summer days here in Florida, my room gets to be as hot as 85-90F. There are a total of 5 case fans in the system, but only two are running right now to blow out any heat generated by the cpu and mother board / other components. I want to cool the cpu with air, keeping in mind that the temp in here does reach 90 during the day. But I dont want to hear the fans. Any ideas, suggestions or solutions?
 
Yeah, I hear my friends store computers they buy from dell or hp. theyre quiet. I wouldnt sy im bored with it. Just, everyone has it now.. its not unique or anything. Plus its a pain when I want to move my comp to lan games or anything like that.

Wait, let me get this straight, you think water cooling is boring so you want to go back to air cooling? You say you don't want to hear the fan noise -- that is something offered by water cooling.

Anyhow, Thermalright SI-97 + 92mm Vantec Stealth isn't a bad combo.

Thermalright XP-90C Looks damn sweet, and performs like a champ. Mate it with a nice panaflo or other low noise 92mm fan, and you'll have great cooling with very little noise.

The picture doesn't really do it justice... it's massive, and looks amazing. A friend of mine said it looks like one of those turbo scoops sticking out of the hood of a tricked out sports car.

I second this...


I think the Thermalright XP-90C is probably your best bet. I live in Florida too so know exactly where your coming from.

Recommand Thermalright XP-120 + 120 mm SilenX fan.

Its VERY quiet while it has good airflow due to a larger fan.

Here's a link for the poster in case he wants to compair the two. Personally I like the XP-90C since it smaller so less chance of having motherboard issues and does just about the exact same as the XP-120

For the previous four posters, the XP-90 and XP-120 series heatsinks will not fit on the Socket A model lineup! The SI-97 may be his best choice.

That's true... I'll be honest and admit I missed that. However, he also said he was upgrading... so maybe he was asking about HSFs for his upgraded system?
