This cooler is QUIET and holds cpu (AMD) to less than 105 F.

So my media playing PC is audibly invisible.

I'm a permanent user of these coolers for good!

Well done Noctua

Scythe S-FLEX SFF21D / 120mm 800rpm Fan. Review

Scythe S-FLEX SFF21D / 120mm 800rpm Fan.
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have had two of these in a Cooler Master Centurion Minitower for about 6 months now. For the last few months, the Scythe I have on my CPU heatsink has failed to start on bootup. It starts to spin, but ends up simply stopping. A quick spin with the finger gets it going, but who wants to open their case every time they turn their computer on? This fan has an extremely high startup voltage (8.9v!), which I think is the problem. I have the fan cable going to a Zalman Fanmate controller, which may increase the required startup voltage even higher. For reliablity's sake, I recommend picking up the "E" version which runs at 1200rpm, and only requires 4.8v startup voltage. Every scythe fan is a great sound performer, so you will still be happy with how quiet in runs!!

Noctua NF-P14 FLX - Processor fan - 140 mm Review

Noctua NF-P14 FLX - Processor fan - 140 mm
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Be sure to use the included silicon fan mounts, since they will cut the noise more than the fan will. Also, the fan comes with some resistor extensions that you can use between the motherboard and the fan to cut the fan speed and noise. The low noise adapter (black) cuts the RPM down to 1,100 RPM, and the Ultra-low noise adapter (blue)cuts the RPM down to 900 RPM.

I found that the black low noise adapter was the one to use. The blue one provided too low of a voltage, and the fan sometimes would not start up on such a low voltage.

Following in the footsteps of the successful NF-P12, the NF-P14 is a highly optimised, premium quality 140mm fan with Vortex-Control Notches for superb quietness and outstanding aerodynamic efficiency.

Zalman CPU Fan With 70mm Fan LED (CNPS9500 LED-CU) Review

Zalman CPU Fan With 70mm Fan LED
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This cooler is the perfect way to keep your system quiet.I have a AMD FX2 CPU and I've had six different coolers/fans to try to keep my computer as quiet as possible.I recently purchased a high-end graphics card with passive (no fan) cooling and this made the situation worse because the CPU fan was having to pick up the slack and move more heat.

Zalman has a great reputation and I thought this fan might do the trick.

It did.

My system is whisper quiet, even when I tax the CPU heavily and the video card, -even at the same time.I never thought my computer could be so quiet.

Some things to keep in mind.

1) Take your time, read the instructions, and be careful of the fins, they're sharp.
2) Make sure you face the fan in the right direction, it's not in the logical direction you might think.In my case the fan is on the far side of the back of the case and you might think otherwise when you first look at it.
3) Instructions need to followed if your installation is going to work.It's a bit of a puzzle, especially if you only use the printed instructions.
4) I strongly recommend you USE THE ZALMAN WEB SITE for help with the installation.Go to their web site, find this cooler in their product list, and once you're at this product's web site you'll find an installation tab with a very, very good animated installation guide.
5) Be sure you select your correct CPU for instructions, the Intel and AMD instructions are VERY different (due to the way they mount to a motherboard).

Considering the cost, and the 30 minutes to install, I think this fan is worth the time and effort and cost.

An excellent product!

Arctic Cooling Arctic Fan 9 PWM - Case fan - 92 mm Review

Arctic Cooling Arctic Fan 9 PWM - Case fan - 92 mm
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I found Arctic Cooling by accident. It was a discontinued product at 30% off. Amazingly, it works much better than many of the "good" fans!

Being annoyed by so many loud fans, I found AC PWM a bless. I ordered from Amazon as the local store doesn't have any left.

The PWM fan is supposed to work with the main CPU fan to provide synced cooling. No complain there.

However, the amount of air it moved is stlightly on the low side. It is still alot to move, just not enough comparing to some other fans. Well, other fans are not that quiet though!

The "loudness" rating of this fan leads me no where. Roughly I think it is less than 10dB.

Cheap, quiet, nice looking PWM fan is the choice for everybody!

Zalman ZM-F3 120mm Quiet Case Fan with Silicone Pins Review

Zalman ZM-F3 120mm Quiet Case Fan with Silicone Pins
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This 120mm fan is really nice. It's pretty darn quiet, and very powerful. For a basic 1-speed fan, you can't do much better.

A few things worth noting:

1. The silicon pins provided for mounting the fan may not work in every application. I used screws from my computer case to mount the fan as the silicon pins were not the right size.

2. This is a mono-speed fan. However since it plugs directly into the motherboard, you can control its RPM through your motherboard's controls or a third party program like RivaTuner.

3. The fan is very quiet compared to many others. I think its probably quieter than even the fans that came pre-installed in my Antect P182 case.

A great fan and well worth the price.

Update:
I finally installed the covers I have for my project and they look great and finish things off very well.No problems on install, and the air flow is still pretty good.I would use these again as they protect your fingers, wires, and other things from the fan blades and the mesh screen helps in keeping even smaller things out.The most I would spend on them though would be $4 ... maybe.

I have not installed the fan cover yet, but it is a bit flimsy looking.That does not mean it will not perform well.I will post an update after I finish my project with them.I bought this a few weeks ago and it was less than 3 dollars shipped, now it is 22 dollars.I must say I am a bit confused as to the price hike.

I stumbled upon this item on accident. I was originally looking at the OCZ Vendetta II but decided to pick this up instead because it was $7 cheaper, excellent online reviews, and future-proof ability. Installation was a hastle because once more I had to remove motherboard from the CoolerMaster 690, but I enjoy the peace of mind with a well mounted hefty heatsink vs the push pins used by other heatsinks of the same proportions.
I have yet to take advantege of using dual 120mm fans, the factory fan seems to be suffice to keep my 3.75Ghz 1.36vcore e5200 consistant at 52C 24hrs on prime95. I cannot distinguish between the noise of this and the three other stock fans in my case except for my XFX9800GT's factory fan. I will recommend this to any enthusiast and even lable the product a "must have". I am looking forward to mounting this on a future planned socket 1366 or 1156. Have a good day.

Antec TriCool 92mm DBB Case Fan with 3-Spd Switch 3/4-Pin & 3-Pin Monitoring Review

Antec TriCool 92mm DBB Case Fan with 3-Spd Switch 3/4-Pin & 3-Pin Monitoring
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We have a Dell Dimension 8100 (desktop machine), which is notorious for its CPU fan. For whatever reason, Dell used a proprietary 3-pin motherboard connector for the fan. When the fan starts going out, it gets really loud, but the part is out of stock. Disconnecting the stock fan from the motherboard means that on every boot, you get a beep and have to hit "F1" to bypass the missing fan.

Antec to the rescue.

This fan (TriCool 92mm) ships with a 3-pin connector and a Y-adapter. The Y-Adapter allows you to get power from a large power-supply socket, like the kind a hard drive uses. The other branch of the adapter goes to a 3-pin connector with a white fan sense pin.

To use this fan to replace the Dell Dimension 8100 fan:
* Disconnect the existing CPU fan from the motherboard, noting which pin is connected to the white wire. This is the fan sense pin.
* Using pliers, carefully remove the plastic sheath on the motherboard fan pins.
* Using the Y-adapter, connect the Antec to a power supply socket.
* Using other branch of the cable, with the white wire to a 3-pin plug, connect ONLY the wired pin to the fan sense pin on the motherboard.

The Dell will then detect the new fan and bypass the warning message.
As a bonus, this fan moves more air on its high setting than the stock fan did.
