AM3 CPU Fan

Last response: in Components
Share

I have an Athlon II 630 with the stock AM3 cooler. Temps are fine, but it's very noisy under load. Is it possible to just replace the fan with a quieter one, without replacing the heatsink too? If so, any recommendations? Looking for something as cheap as possible...

Thanks

You may be able to turn down the rpms in the bios. Check the hardware monitoring section. If the settings are number based, use a lower number. If temp based, raise the trigger temp to 50c.

Thanks for the replies o1die. Unfortunately I'm in the UK so slickdeals.net is no good, which is a shame as it looks good.


The fan is pretty noisy even at idle. I was just wanting to know whether you can swap the fan out without having to replace the heatsink too- ie. is it a standard size fan with standard connections?

Thanks
