Would this fan fit on stock AMD heasink?

It is still going to be loud, replacing the whole cooler is the best way to go unless you are using a system that is low profile like a slimline or a itx. The noise is generated the voltage is raised to 12v in order for the fan to reach a higher rpm to increase airflow due to the heatsink below isn't keeping the cpu cool enough to begin with.

Get a large cooler that will still fit and mount properly then noise shouldn't be an issue as the fan on a larger cooler won't be running at full speed.

Hi :) 

Hes gone because you were NOT listening to good advice....

The original heasink/fan from AMD is excellent...ANY other fan you find will be JUST AS LOUD or LOUDER...

And there are very few fans that will fit other manufacturers heatsinks....

Just BUY a new heatsink and fan if you must...they are not exactly expensive...

All the best Brett :) 

Wait for it... Replace the the heatsink! Preferably with one with a larger fan. 70-80mm fans (or small fans in general) are inherently loud, no matter which one it is.

A Cooler Master Hyper TX3 should do the job. COOLER MASTER Hyper TX3 RR-910-HTX3-G1 "Heatpipe Direct Contact" 92mm CPU Cooler Still just 92mm, but it should be much quieter than any fan that you can put on the stock AMD heatsink. Also, it doesn't screw it, it just uses the clip mechanism. There, no reason not to do it.

Hi.

All the stuff you need should come with a decent brand, low cost cooler, and yes, you must remove and re-apply thermal paste. There are lots of written and video guides on the net on cooler installation ... google is your friend :) 

Good luck! ... you really will be much happier with a new cooler. Small fans by their nature are louder than larger fans because they have to spin faster to move the same amount of air over a heatsink surface, even if they claim to be "silent". 70mm is an odd fan size to find and replace too.

The reason its noisy is because its smaller and therefore has to spin faster to move that amount of air. Did a google search and found a few 70mm fans but I doubt they would be much quieter.

May I recommend the Scythe Shuriken, It has a stock appearance and is extremely quiet.
