I'm not overclocking much (E6320 to 2.3ghz 1066 mhz fsb) and I'm using my stock intel fan. It gets pretty loud and while I do use speedfan to slow it down when I'm watching a movie or something, I'm thinking if I should get an after-market fan that would hopefully be quieter (while providing the same cooling or even better if possible).
I guess my first question is it worth getting a new fan if they're quieter? If so, who makes good quiet fans? Thanks
