Stock fan replacement ?

I have a coolermaster heatsink not sure what kind it is but its all copper and the fan is really noisy. i think it is a 60mm because it is the same size as my stock AMD fan and is made by the same delta company. Is there any quiet fan out there that i can replace it with instead of buying a new HSF?

T,

There are more good 80mm than 60mm fan choices so I would get this thing and then get an 80mm nexus or panaflo L1A. There are many fans that would be OK if you want to search the fan forum. - FG

This adapter seems like a good one to me because it lets some of the air flow over the side of the heatsink and on to the mainboard.

i minuss well get a new hsf like the Arctic Cooling Copper Silent 2 TC because the bracket + fan + shipping is about equal to a new Arctic Cooling Copper Silent 2 TC.

A good part of the reason for that is that people keep asking the same question over and over and over and over and over. This fills up the forums with a lot of "noise" and makes it harder to separate the wheat from the chaff when using the search.

I wanted to play it cheap and not have to replace the entire heatsink on a P3 system. The only problem was that it was using a 60mm (or was it 70?) fan. I did a special order and found a Panaflo that small.

Nowadays, I'd just buy a 60-80mm adaptor and put a Panaflo 80mm on it. That 60/70mm Panaflo fan was almost twice the price as an 80. I'd never do it that way again.

Otherwise, just find the cheapest 80mm heatsink and replace its fan with a Panaflo..

You could try Jab-tech and get an 80mm Panaflo L1A (mfg in Japan), a 60 -> 80 adaptor and some 7v and 9v cables or the Zalman 5v & 12v Multi-fan connector or a Fan-mate (my choice). They carry all of these.

Stock fan replacement ?
