Any suggestions for heatsinks with great performance but not that much noise? Also, rate the following heatsink fan combos from best performing to worst performing and from noisiest to quietest:

1. Swiftech MC-462 A w/ Sanyo Denki full blast
2. ThermalRight SK-6 w/ Delta 60mm 38 cfm
3. Swiftech MC-462 A w/ Sanyo Denki rheostat fully turned down
4. ThermalRight SK-6 w/ YS Tech 60 mm 27 cfm
5. ThermalRight SK-6 w/ Sunon 60 mm 26 cfm

Also where do the Noise Control Silverado and Millenium Glaciator Heat sinks rank? I'm kind of hesitant about getting these two because of their limited availability

I think the Millenium Glaciator is a great hsf fan. It isn't noisy at all, overclockers.com did a review of all the heatsinks and their noise. You should check it out. Most of the new hsf don't yield a huge difference between eachother.

My Glaciator is just a little louder than the Coolermaster hsf which came with the cpu. I thought the Coolermaster was very quiet.

Yeah glaciator.... I just ordered mine. I've seen nothing but good reviews and it doesn't have one of those noisy deltas on it either.
