A while ago I got a Thermalright SK6 for my wee Athlon 1400, which came with a Delta Decibel-o-matic hair dryer fan. Appalled by the noise, I replaced it with a 60mm Sunon, which was not too bad, but now grinds horribly and needs replacing.
So I'm looking for a good 60mm fan that is also quiet. I've heard great things about the Panaflo fans, but I can't find a 60mm panaflo which also has RPM monitoring--which, given that it's a CPU fan, I would like. It's not a make-or-break if the Panaflos are that much better than other fans, but it's a consideration.
I have heard that you can clip an 80mm fan onto the SK6 if you cheat a bit, so the 80mm fans are in the mix as well.
Any recommendations? If I could find a 60mm panaflo with RPM monitoring, I think that would be a happy choice, but I just haven't seen them anywhere.
(and yeah, the SK6 will only take me so far, but may as well use it while I can--it's still a good heatsink).
