thanks/rob

Psst....

You can get a quiet fan if you want. Here are some good reviews. <A HREF="http://www.dansdata.com/coolercomp.htm" target="_new">http://www.dansdata.com/coolercomp.htm&lt;/A>. Good place to start.

is it??? i bet i can get a 1.8ghz northwood to run faster/quieter than your axp2000+, and the price should be very close.

Just what the hell are you talking about? The XP 2000 would smoke it and throw it off the hill as we know it!
Only the NW 2.2 is capable of withstanding the XP 2000.

You have no idea what you're talking about do you? Help the guy out. Don't start a flame war. Either recommend a quiet HSF, a place to find one, reviews, etc, or start your own thread about your theories.

I believe the Noise Control Silverado runs pretty quiet and delivers good performance.

Correct on the first, but not the second. In the early days of the Tbird, the Silverado was great. They need to release an updated version.

READ THE REVIEWS..... PENTIUM BLOWS... XP 2000+ will leave it in the dust.. Everything for INTEL is alot more Expensive, My system would cost another 300-400 more..

AMD USER!!!

We Will See soon, AMD is planning to release a new CPU...

The Noisecontrol silverado is an awsome cooler, you can choose the voltage supply for the dual fans to keep the noise down depending on how much cooling you need. My personal experience with it however, is that the clip to fasten it to the socket requires so much force to attach it, that it can damage the ZIF socket heat sink attachments. Perhaps it was just the one I bought.

As fatburger said, the noise control is NOT adequate for modern processors, the silverado is good up to around 1.2ghz, no more. Its overpriced anyways, you should just get a retail hsf.

No Overclock+stock hsf=GOOD!

The retail fans are pretty quiet (comparitively), and will do the job as long as you aren't OCing. If you're looking for absolute silence, then retail won't do it for you.

i noticed that u said quiet SYSTEM... many people seem to be missing that.

1. first an enermax 430W whisper. loads of power, nice and quiet
2. a decent case. crap generic cases dont ventilate well, leading to noisy inefficient fans. antec. enermax. lian li. etc
3. ibm 60gxp or 120gxp hard drive(s). quietest ive heard
4. ask around in the CD-ROM/DVD/CD-RW forum for details about the quietest cd drive(s)
stock
5. cpu cooler. just go for the stock solution, or if thats not quiet enough go for something a bit more exotic like a coolermaster, of a big alpha pal8045 or swiftech topped with a large (but slow speed) fan. also u may want to consider a 60mm to 80mm converter. same airflow, less noise.

The Case i am Ordering is the "USB SILVER" Mid Tower from www.Buycase.com

Do you recomend a 430 Watt PS, i was thinking about a 350watt....do you really need 430 watts!!

The Cpu fan, i narrowed it down to either the Dragon Thermaltake..Volcano 7 or a CoolerMaster...Not sure on those yet.

HD, im going with the WD100jb

Thanks, Rob

Once you go AMD, You never Go back!!

sounds good... im looking for a decent new case too, so ill check em out.

as for powersupplies, i and a friend had considerable trouble, thus i learn a fair bit about PSU's.

ive found that the Watt rating is pretty meaningless. the current the psu provides is far more important...
thus in many cases a 300W enermax is far superior to a generic 350W unit. and generic units have a nasty tendency to fail alot.

so u dont need 430W, unless overclocking, 300 or 350W sould be sufficient, but PLEASE choose a good brand such as Enermax, toptower, Antec etc.
people buy high quality components for everything else... why neglect the PSU?

the volcano 7 is nice... but judging from benchmarks it looks better than it performs.
i suggest u spend some time over at

as for your hard drive... dont care much for W.D. but the JB is the one with 8mb cache right? sounds good enough. but i prefer maxtor & ibm.

Overclocked athlon 1200C @ 8.5 x 166FSB + PC2700 = GOOD! :smile:
