    Am3 fan suggestions

    Hey all, been a while since I've been here! I am putting together a new PC for the wife, it's an Am3 Phenom II x 4 processor. I am looking for suggestions for a good, quiet fan for the processor itself. Probably want to put at least 2 other case fans as well. My history is that usually fans make a lot of noise and I don't want to spend $30 or $40 on a noisy fan so if you have ideas about some good heat sink or heat sink fan combo and some quiet case fans I would appreciate it greatly.

    Thanks in advance

    I've always had good luck with Zalman or Thermaltake fans. And a good place to buy is:

    Stupid question? No such thing!

    Those are good brands. Also, the reviews on NewEgg.com can be very helpful in pointing out any issues with fit, etc., as well as giving ratings for the various models.

    May be of interest,


    NOTE: Do not use the fan shipped with the cooler. Suggest using alternatives.
    e.g. Scythe GentleTyphoon and Kama Flow 2 series
    Cheers.
