need quite heatsink fan for 3.2g machine
built a machine and with the intel 3.2 processor came the intel heatsink and fan. am not happy with this heatsink and fan it is noisy - a wirling sound. have looked at a lot of replacements but would like to get some personal recommendations for people as to a quite one. socket 478. my 2 case fans make less noise than this heatsink/fan.
thanks |

If that's the stock Intel fan... contact them and RMA it.... Intel fans are some of the quietest around.

Yep, its the heatsink and fan that came with the processor. I definitely makes a noisy whirling sound and I know its that part cuz I disconnected both case fans.
Suppose I could get in touch with newegg and see what their policy is on it but maybe just as easy to buy a different one and bypass the hassle. I knew zalman was a good product will look at their products. Thanks. |

Cricket, I used your link to the Zalman site, clicked on the CNPS770-Cu heat sink/fan. When I clicked on "view" to check mobo compatibility, I get a box saying "It will not take long to get ready". This happens with IE6 and Firefox. I can't remember ever seeing that one before. Is there a way around it?

works fine for me. it is socket 478, 775, 939, 940, and 754 compatible.
edit- i see what you mean. probably they haven't finished it yet. you could probably take a measurement of your MoBo and see if it fits the required clearance.
