If you want quiet, you should look into the Zalman heatsinks, or a Thermalright with a Panaflo. Both will suit your needs well. You could go with something cheaper as well.

u might not do no overclocking but i kno u gonna be gamin...and its gonna get hot so i would suggest u get the Thermalright SP-97 w/ a panaflo & some AS5

Thermalright SP-97+ thermaltake smart fan II (its powerful, and can be quiet when you dont want it to hear it)

 

[magick_man]

get a sp-97 and a vantec tornado on a fan controller (it is bearable on low and very powerful on high)

Thermalright issued a neo-plate to clear the motherboard standoff on the dfi NF2 boards. You have to contact thermalright to get it. You can cut a small notch in the standard backplate too.

You might be better off with a thermalright slk-900a or 800a and a smartfan2 or panaflo. They are more convenient since they mount with a clip. They are both 100% compatible with your mobo. If you get the urge to overclock later, they will be up to the task.

if you do need to get the neo backplate, heres a link to a place that sells it (im sure there are others too.)

ah kool ^^... i think ill go with the sp-97+backplate..and a panaflo... thanks for all the help

 

[hrhrhrFOOT]

wtf???? why get sp97 if not OCing? You can easily get another HSF that will run at stock...pretty much anything.

 

[lemon]

Just stick with stock cooler if you are not overclocking, save$. Or maybe you should get Zalman because they are quiet.

i wont be overclocking but i'll be gaming alot and that makes the cpu pretty hot right? and the stock on is loud...

Stock sinks are designed to keep the CPU within spec. If you don't want to plop a lot of dough down, just get a decent copper cored heatsink and a quiet fan. No reason to get a hot rod sink if you don't need it.

Couldnt have said it better myself

another vote for Thermalright SP-97+ and a vantec tornado loud but cool
