any dealers here sell such a thing as an ultra silent cpu fan?

i have two pcs, nothing fancy, just for surfing and whatnot, the p4 is fairly quiet but the damn amd, the cpu fan is so noisy the humm drives me dilly

so if you sell a thingy that is silent please pm the link

thanks
 
I just take the noisy fans back and they replace it with a new one. This is at PC int now. There is no dust blocking it or anything?
 
nope, no dust, i took it off, cleaned it and it now revs even faster and noisier
 
Install speedfan ... it allows you to control your fan speed based on your CPU (mobo, HD) temp
 
speedfan only works some times though - go get a nice silent block cooler for a few bucks
 
What would you recommend... spend a few hundred on a new CPU cooler or a free solution first?

My desktop PC runs almost silently with the standard AMD fan. I upgraded to a Zalman CNSxxx for my HTPC but still use SpeedFan to control the fans.

yeh, cool, whats that and where from?

that speedfan software shows the temp and whatnot but it doesnt slow down the fan which is running at around 5200 rpm. that white noise hum is driving me nuts

I would get a Zalman CNPS8x00 AlCu. It will probably come with a handy little speed controller.

Last I checked you can get it for about R200 at Sybaritic.
 
Or get a fan controller like the zalman mfc1 plus, speedfan can't control my MB fans yet so I use a fan controller instead.
