Hi folks, time to post after years of lurking. I Normally hang out on a couple of other tech forums
I'm looking to quieten down my existing rig. At the moment I've got a 6000+ on the stock cooler, and the fan is starting to whine. So that needs swapping out before the fan dies. I'm looking for suggestions if anyone can help? At the moment I've got the Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro as the main competitor.
I'm also looking to quieten down the Sapphire 4870. Great card, but it sounds like a hair dryer!
On this I'm also looking at Arctic Cooling gear, but an Accelero Twin Turbo or an Accelero S1 Rev2 with a set of the Turbo fans. I'm not bothered about a BIT of noise, but even the X1950XTX I had previously was quieter than this!
I'm not a fan of purely passive cooling (and I don't mind a little noise), the case I've got (Thermaltake Bach-VX) won't take more than 2x120mm, so it should both take those HSF setups, and it's not really a case that is suitable for passive.
Anyone got any better suggestions in the under £30 per item range? I've linked stuff up so better minds than mine may hopefully take a closer look.
Thanks in Advance
