No no...I wasn't trying to scold anyone, just thought it would benefit others if you posted some specific heatsink/fan units and case fan set ups so that others who are looking to build a quiet system would have something to work with.

juppy already mentioned Vantec Stealth and Panaflo fans (which is what I would have suggested).

The last two AMD systems I put together used all copper heatsinks with high RPM fans and they're pretty noisy. The two AMD system's before that I used aluminum Cooler Master heatsinks that weren't too noisy, but I forget which models I used.

I've been building mostly INTEL PC's lately and haven't been keeping up with the heatsinks available for AMD CPU's so I don't know which ones are good if you want a quiet PC. Thought you could suggest some good ones.
