I've only been upgrading during my whole PC "career". I don't do so often, however, and never go top-of-the-line; instead, most of my components are mid-range due to budget limits. Lately, my upgrades have obviously been for silence, but they also yield substantial performance benefits as well, such...

In general, NIDEC motors are A-okay (IIRC, some have had bad experiences; check that long SpinPoint thread ). The best word to describe JVC motors is probably "inconsistent", as plenty of members have reported success with them, but the majority of them have negative results. What I'm getting at is ...

These are probably you're best bets: Zalman CNPS7000A-AlCu or the ThermalRight SP-97. I would go for the ThermalRight, since it lets you choose you're own fan. Of course, both of these products have nothing on the new ThermalRight XP-120, which is a huge, feather-weight heatsink compatible with *cer...

Definately go with SAMSUNG. Their drives are faster and quieter than Seagate's. If you need proof on the performance aspect, take a look at this article from X-Bit Labs. Hope this helps!

I would recommend an AOpen AX4SPE Max II , which is based on the i865PE chipset. I don't know about speedfan support (it most likely is compatible), but it has some good features. However, are you sure that you don't want wait? The latest Intel chipsets were just released and support the new LGA775 ...

You could try decoupling the fan of the 7000 and/or replacing it.

You are undervolting the fan, aren't you? If you're not, that's your problem (just follow these instructions). If you are undervolting the fan, then...hmm...I don't know. I have the same fan and it's very quiet. Maybe a bad motor?

I just got the last two 120mm aluminum Evercools from my local CompUSA yesterday. I tested them out and there is actually a noticeable difference in noise between them and the other 120mm aluminum Evercool that I have with only one ball-bearing (the new ones have two ball-bearing motors).

An aluminum Evercool will do you just fine, as Joseph Clemente can attest to here. If you can, get the two ball-bearing version, since it will be quieter than one with only one ball-bearing (I found this out myself with two 120mm aluminum Evercools). Hope this helps!
