Cooling More powefull/quieter than Gelid Tranquilo?

Hi,

I've got a Gelid Tranquilo in an overclocked setup (i5-760) and its not as quiet as I'd like when the fan is running at top speed.
Normally its fine, but at the top end i can hear it easily. The case is a PC-9F.

I'm guessing that I need either a better cooler or a better fan. Is the supplied fan optimum, or can i do better?

Would a Frio be quieter, or are there better coolers?

Many thanks

 

The frio is an excellent cooler but i would just change the fan on gelid to either an akasa apache or gentle typhoon

 

Get either the be quiet dark rock advanced or pro.

 

The Be Quiet Dark Rock Advanced is CPC's choice of cooler now. Their review placed it as significantly quieter than the Tranquillo.

 

for what it's worth, the frio has been shown to cool better, but louder...

i second or third the different fan idea...

 

I replaced the fan with an akasa apache and it seems to have done the trick
Cpu temperature is a bit lower too which is a plus.
I wonder how many coolers out there can be improved by changing their standard fans.

Now of course other 'noises' have now become 'noticeable', sigh.

 

silver arrow is quiet and cools well

 

Titan Fenrir on its lowest fan speed does the job for me

 

this! Or a dark rock or any noctua cooler, or just stick some noctua fans or whatever cooler you have/purchase

 

+1, but on the AMD side

 

*hugs his Noctua NH-D14 passively cooling an overclocked i7-920*
