					|  |  
					| Hi,
 The Thermaltake Volcano on my A64 is way too loud.. Sure it gives good cooling (~30 C) but damn its VERY noisy. I'm lookiong to go fanless or have a very quiet GOOD cpu fan. I can pay for quality, what do you guys suggest ?
 
 
 Big Thanks
 Tom.

					| Get a Zalman CNPS7700-AlCU.
You don't hear it when it's at low speed.
 At full speed you can hear it a little bit..
 
 I hate you.

					| Zalman do a good range of quiet heatsink/fans.. Especially the flowers.
 
 But do bear in mind ball bearings in the fans expand due to heat over time and will get nosier.
