Please recommend a very quiet HS and fan or a fan I can put on the stock HS to quiet it down. I bought a Zalman al7000cu or something like that and took apart the entire pc only to find it doesnt fit on an NF7-S. I Have a cheap Vantec fan controller if that makes a difference (although i dont know how to use it for a HSF).
Thanks guys.

If you can get another HSF get what rusty suggested and sell the zalman, else read on at your own peril.....

Yeah several people on here have managed to shoehorned the zalman 7000 onto an NF7-S. I decided against it for the time being, but I'm gonna get a copper shim to protect the core and put it on. Here are some threads on the topic.CjMoney wrote:Please recommend a very quiet HS and fan or a fan I can put on the stock HS to quiet it down.
