I have just started building my new computer and have wired the motherboard into the case and works fine.

though...
the CPU cooler fan is EXTRMELY loud!
i have found a few ALL at a price i am willing to pay.
can someone please help me to choose one that wil lkeep my processor cool (it is left on almost 24/7) and that will not make much noise.
any help will be great
the link to the PSU coolers i have found is :
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Cat...CPU_Coolers_1.html
also it needs to fit a pentium 4 processor
( i have the ASUS P4C800 deluxe motherboard)
thank you

What socket is the CPU, 478 Pin or 775 Pin

[Edit] I would go for Arctic Cooling. I have that fan for my CPU and its very quiet.

478 socket

i have been inclined to go towards a CPU cooler which is piped to make my CPU cooler and better performance. has anyone used (or someone who knows more than i do) know one (on that site or for a similar price) which is quiet and high performing for 24/7 use?

thanks for your help REAPER, though the Artic Cooler fans are not piped and i dont want to buy an item like this off eBay.

is this one any good: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Cat...lermaster_122.html ?

it is not standard it is the Thermaltake Spark 7 Extreme Heatsink

The Spark 7 has a reputation for sounding like a jumbo jet on takeoff, so it shouldn't be too hard to improve on it.

If you have the Intel retial box cooler sitting around somewhere, you may want to try it, by the way -- they are relatively quiet and work just fine.

I think that is a great choice -- in particular because this guy apparently has installed it on P4C800 and doesn't mention any fit problems (often an issue with large aftermarket coolers).

thanks
* DJKAL demands my money back of my brother to purchase this and the rest of the things needed/ wanted

only one thing im wondering about:

The alu fanholder is a bit loose on top

I wouldn't worry about that -- it may be that way by design, and as long as it doesn't rattle or fall off, it will be fine.

ok thanks
i will by that as soon as i have the money off of my bro or from work (hopefully very soon)
again thanks for your help

That is a VERY nice heatsync, it's nearly silent and uses TMD technology  for a more reliable and silent fan.

it is loud IMHO, but that is the only thing bad I can say. Sounds like a jet engine spooling up when you turn on the PC....

Cons: VERY noisy. I did not notice the noise issue when buying it and now I'm gonna switch to a different fan. This one gets into the way of my productivity.

Would reccomend buying if you have a fan controller as the metallic whine goes away if turned down to about 4600-4800 rpms (temp at like 26C).

you could always go for a Vapochill cooler (apparently they're fucking awesome). Vapochill keep their shit cool, and they have ultra-low-noise ones aswell.

I recently got this one

http://www.mplex.com/cgi-bin/ccp51/cp-app.cgi?usr...HOME:comp%2Fhsf%2F

works with anything, i use it to cool my Intel P4 3.2GHz H/T

i got it because my old fan broke n made too much noise.

i run this fan on low when i not near PC (if i downloading tlkn on msn etc.) When i'm using intensive games(Counter Strike Source) depending on my room temprature i turn the fan up.

I'd recommand that one easy

Enjoy.

anything is quieter than stock fan u should get fan with speed control works wonders like the one i post oh and btw the one i posted was easiest fan to install lol

for thermalright, the xp-90 is very efficient and quite cheap, although you have to purchase a fan separately. i don't know what the new ultra-90/120 are worth.

This Is mine. Excellent fan.

Zalman's 7700 is just HUGE (really, I don't think it fits in every case) xD
