Q: I built my first computer a few months back – bought a motherboard / cpu combo, because I was worried about installing the CPU on the motherboard by myself .
anyway, the heatsink is noisy fan – constant whirring sound — more than the normal sound 977 503 977 503 on the threads of the screws of the fan on the heatsink actually “screws” to borrow the fins of the heatsink, and not actually in the eye if everything . But I think its ok – as long as it stays there and the temps are ok .
anyway, can anyone recommend a quiet fan for Athlon CPU? thanks

Re:Has anyone tried the Galaxy Monster cooler with the 30cfm 80mm fan? The only review I could find was the older 60mm one, and it sucked until they put a Delta on it and it did very well. I like the performance/noise of the original Millenium Glaciator, but it looks like the 80mm Galaxy Monster is quieter and may cool better. For only $5.99, I will order three of them if they are any good! Looks like the SVC GC68 and the Galaxy are exactly the same.

Re:<< Millennium Glaciator is a good, quiet (36 db) choice >>
My thoughts on quiet don't quite match those of guy, apparently 
. I find 36dB to be much too loud. Instead consider the SVC GC68 for $12.98 from SVC (http://www.svcompucycle.com), or the identical Galaxy Monster Cooler for $5.99 from Nexfan (http://www.nexfan.com/29/325.htm?181). Those two are rated at 28dBA — much, much quieter than 36dBA!

I agree this hs/f is very quiet. I used this in conjunction with a hard drive enclosure and now my server is whisper quite, I too forget sometimes when it is on.

Re:I agree that the Millennium Glaciator is a good, quiet (36 db) choice. I have two of them, and they work great. And at $18, it's a steal. My 1 Ghz T-Bird OC's to 1.4 Ghz and runs at 46c full load. Be aware that they weigh 600+ grams and only attach to the socket at two points. I've never had a problem with it falling off, but I would advise you to remove it if you transport your comp in a car (at least lay it flat on it's side, with the HSF pointing up).
If you transport your comp a lot, I'd suggest a Thermalright SK-6 (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.asp?submit=manufactory&catalog=62&manufactory=1444&DEPA=1). Either order the bare HS and a quiet fan, or simply put an adjustable resistor in the power feed to control the speed of the "Delta Screamer". With the SK-6, you can replace the fan when it wears out, which you can't do with the Glaciator (as far as I know there are no replacement fans available).

Re:The Millenium Glaciator (http://65.108.114.210/cgi-bin/cart.pl) is only $17.50 and cools as good as any Delta screamer without the noise. The clip mechanism is the easiest I have seen yet, it is very easy to clip/unclip with just finger pressure.

Re:I am using a Thermaltake Volcano 7. It has a copper bottom and a variable fan that adjusts to the temp of the system. It runs quiet when the system is cool and speeds up when the system is hot. I can hear it in my case but it is not a loud whining or annoying sound.

Re:The amout of air that is moved and also the rpm of a fan determines the noise level.
If you move less air onto your existing heat sink your temps will rise.
Get a quality pure copper heatsink with a low rpm ball bearing fan for the least noise and same cooling level.
