Since he doesn't care about PC noise, I volunteered to quiet his computer---but I want to keep the cost down! I'm thinking about buying the Evercase 4252 case; I've got a Fortron FSP350-PN laying around, but I'm not sure what to do about the CPU cooling.
I haven't had his computer apart yet, so I don't know exactly what he has (hopefully I'll get around to that later today). But I do know it's an Athlon; I'm guessing it's around 1 GHz or so. I'm also not sure what motherboard he has.
Anyway, point is, I'd like to get a quiet CPU cooler cheaply. Ideally, I'd just throw in a Zalman 7000, but those cost too much. I browsed through some posts around here, the following two HSFs look like possible candidates:
- Arctic Cooling CPU Cooler For AMD Athlon Socket 462 up to 3400+, Model "Copper Silent 2M" -RETAIL
- Spire WhisperRock IV CPU Cooler For Socket A / 370, AMD Recommended, Model "SPA04B4" -RETAIL
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Matt
