hello! i recently built a gaming pc and left my processor cooler stock. but when gaming the cpu fan is SO loud its unbearable. so im looking to replace the stock heatsink fan, with the same size but a lot quieter for a cheap price. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! thanks!!
 
Solution
Not of that size, they are all loud. With some new models there are new Wraith coolers that are much quieter.
Best idea for quietness is to put much better cooler and slow fans right down.

true, and i have already bought it. i tried installing it and the motherboard doesnt support it so i had to send it back. im just looking to find just a fan to put on the heatsink thats quiet and the right size but im not sure what to look for
EDIT: If you were wondering, i have the Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 (Rev 6) Motherboard

How was it not compatible? It should work with your MOBO.

to my surprise the metal legs and baseplate that are supposed to screw on the mobo didnt fit. i tried every way possible and nothing was even close to lining up
