What is a good fan for a AMD TB 1.33ghz processor? It has to be silent and good for cooling. I want to be able to oc it to 1.4 maybe 1.6 max. Please someone help me. I have a Vantec right now, that i got at pcclub and its so freaking loud. Sounds like a mini vacum cleaner. I only want to spend about $80. Thx.

the Glaciator is the best choice for you, or a mc462 w/ a 80mm fan. i'd go with the glaciator myself. there's a review on the front page (under "heatsink reviews and tips")

edit: jason beat it too me.

I heard somewhere that the Pabst 80mm fan was very good sound/performance ratio.

I wouldnt know where to buy it though.

it weighs about 1.5 lbs and it's not bad for ocing. although, you'll need major airflow if you're aiming for 1.6.
