Hsf

[Oneiron]

I need to get a new HSF. I'm currently running with the noisiest ******* Global Win has, and it's driving me crazy! It does a great job of cooling my CPU, but I just can't cope with all that noise. Anyone have any suggestions as to what I should buy? I have heard Glacier is great... any ideas?

And lastly I'd want to know of any web shops where I could buy it. I live in Norway, so keep that in mind.

Maybe Noise Control Silverado will be ur choice when u want less noise
Noise Control Silverado does a good job cooling the cpu but of course it is no way as good as ur current HSF
but i can't think of another HSF that is quiet and does a good job

[!-=sky=-!]

are u talking about the cak38?
if so then i think bascially it's the best from global win

if not u can go get that.....but again it uses the delta fan....so same kind of noise

consider the swiftech or glaciator

[TRANCER24]

im using the high rpm global and it is driving me insane also. Does anyone know if the glaciator is less noisy?

[Mr.Lansing]

Of course the Glaciator is less noisy then the Delta 38 but still quite loud

To get good air cooling - unfortunately, noise is part of the package. Good air cooling requires a good heatsink, i.e. Glaciator, SK-6, CAK38, etc.. and a powerful fan, of at least +30cfm. Noise. Another HSF, Swiftech 462A, uses an 80mm fan, and can be less noisy.

To eliminate noise you could line the inside of your case with egg crate foam. I did that on one of my machines - which had a ThermalRight SK-6 HSF, and it reduced the noise level about half.

Well, if you're not overclocking, you might be able to get away with a Thermalright SK6 with a Sanyo Denki Ultra Quiet fan on it.... I think, though, that sound is something you just have to deal with when overclocking, or else go with chilled water cooling.

I'm using the MC462 w/Sanyo Denki and it is very quiet compared to the Deltas, and also does an awesome cooling job. It costs more than most, but I think it's worth it.
