Hi all i got this AMD Phenom II X6 1055T 2.8GHz 9MB Cache Socket AM3, it makes an absolute racket the fan it spinning like a banchi and its very noisy!! is there a better more quieter cpu fan out there (if possible not water-cooled) or if it is something simple to fit? AMD was good enough to send me a new fan thinking it could be faulty, but i don't think it is (haven't put it in yet anyway) any suggestions please? ta mucho
I think it would be best if you could mention what case you got first, then people would be able to advise your on which CPU cooler to use better...as not all CPU cooler will fit if you have a small case.
Ok fair enough Casecom 6788 Black Mid Tower Case with Full Black Interior/Exterior 120mm Blue LED Front Fan, its a full size case, Asrock 890GX Extreme3 Socket AM3 DVI VGA HDMI Out 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard Thanks again
I cry about cases like this. It's probably half the problem, as it wont be cooling your gubbinz very well. What's your budget? I'd like to suggest a new case as well as cooler really... Edit: It's a mid tower case by the way, not a full tower...
I already have the case, its all fitted and running, so a suggestion that will fit already would be preferable, i have about £45 to spend Well i could take the side panel off..... but the dust would probably gunk everything up after a few months
ThermalTake Frio would do you Also adding fans to the empty fan spaces would help alot, but as I said before a better case would go a long way. Something to think about in the future
This may help: http://www.quietpc.com/gb-en-gbp/products/amx-coolers If you are running at standard speed and just wont something quiet and cheap then go for a Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev2 Quiet CPU If you are looking for a mild OC then a Gelid Solutions Tranquillo Quiet would be a good move. If you want all singing all dancing max OC then the Frio is the one to go for.
Ta mucho everyone, the thing is, for the first time ever it hasn't gone crazy today for some reason, you think it knows?? creepy eh?
Must admit if you have the copper heat pipe cooler like this: http://produto.mercadolivre.com.br/...-x6-hexacore-1055t-mb-asus-m4a785td-v-evo-_JM Then it should be pretty quiet anyway, or just enable silent mode in the fan speed control in the MB BIOS.
I have this exact one http://www.ebuyer.com/product/204939 the problem probably lays in the fact that i have it tucked in the computer chubby box under the desk, but its open at the front and i have drilled very large holes in the back (a good few of them so air can circulate) but its probably not helping the problem, but i have no other place to put the tower I'm not really up to doing things like MB BIOS, what am i looking for to change, can anyone run me throe this please, and i will have a go at it
