Silent CPU Cooler
I'm pretty sure it's the CPU fan in my Vista media centre making most of the noise, having recently replaced the GPU fan and 2 x 120mm case fans with silent versions, so I'd like to get a replacement. My needs are;
Virtually silent (<20dB)
Low profile (to fit a media center case)
Socket AM2 support
I have cool'n'quiet enabled in the BIOS, and the dual core CPU is throttled back to 1Ghz most of the time.
Any recommendations?
