Stock fan replacement

Tags:
Last response: in CPUs

I recently replaced my old Core 2 Duo E2200 CPU with a Core 2 Quad Q9550 - excellent processor, still somewhat competent.

My problem is that I did not replace the stock fan that came with the IPIBL-LB motherboard (machine's an HP Pavilion A6400F). The noise when I run CPU-intensive games is horrendously loud. So I am now looking for the best replacement for the stock fan, that will fit within my case and tone it down.

Any ideas?

Sorry guys, disregard my last - it seems I didn't quite understand the distinction between a CPU fan and a case fan.

Could someone verify that this is the same one as
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

I completely trust Newegg and all - got my Q9550 off there - but I have a Canada Computers in a nearby plaza, and the price there is cheaper than on Newegg - plus I can just stroll in and pick it up. If those two fans are the same, I'll get it from CC.

Thanks in advance!
