What is the best quiet air cooled cooler for a Quad Core?
I have a Zalman CNPS9500 I use on a Core 2 Duo. It works great, but the main thing is that it's quiet.
I need a cooler that would work for Overclock plus be quiet when I turn the speed down.
I was thinking of buying the Zalman CNPS9700 but not sure if that is the best choice for an overclocked Quad.

The 9500 (18 dBA on low speed) is quiter than the 9700 (19.5 dBA on low speed) which is a plus.
I use my computer for gaming, but I also use it for recording audio.
I use a fan controller so I can run all fans at max when gaming & low when recording.
What cooler would you recommend for a overclock Quad?
Zalman, Thermalite, ? ? ? ?
That can also get quiet?
Thanks
