Hi Marvin,
i have a ASUS K8V SE Deluxe and a cooler from artic-cooling called
silencer64.
The cooler brings its own backplate.
It works great with coolnquiet.
My proc is a 3200+.

Hi,

I am looking forward to buy an AMD64 3000+ on an Asus or MSI board, but
I don't know which CPU-cooler fits best. Does it have to be
temperature-controlled? Or is the mainboard capable of adjusting the
fanspeed according to the temperature properly? I want to build a system
that is as silent as possible.
Is there a good website about Cool'n'Quiet? All I found just provide the
standard information which is not very skin deep.

thanks,
Marvin
