Can anyone suggest a QUIET fan for a TBird 900? I have a Global Win FOP38 and while I'm sure it does a nice job cooling, I have to be able to work in the same room as the computer.

I was looking at the CoolerMaster DP5-6H51 on their website which has a db rating of 32.8 (vrs 46.5db for the FOB38 - each 10db DOUBLES the noise level if I remember correctly). AMD recommends it up to 1.2GHz.

Any thoughts?

PS: If anyone does any heatsink/fan and/or power supply comparisons can they PLEASE include noise levels...

The Comair Quiet Fan that I have on my OCZ Monster II is pretty quiet. According to a review I read it is much quieter than the Delta Fan but not as quiet as the Sunon and YS Tech fans. I don't know what you have there on the Global WIN FOP-38.

Here is a link to the cooler review:

I thought 3 db represented a doubling of sound level and 10 db is 10-fold.

the taisol's are good coolers and they are quiet. the 733 is pretty inexpensive and works well. then you have the 734 which has a bigger heatsink, then the 742 is the best but a little expensive. but then again, if you spent the money for the fop-38 then the taisol 742 isn't expensive.

You could try the SuperOrb of Chrome Orb. They run at 30 and 29db respectively and cost around 24 and 12 respectively. Look at <A HREF="http://www.thermaltake.com/" target="_new">www.thermaltake.com</A> and you can search on price watch for cheap prices.
