Cool and Quiet
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 |

I replaced the retail cooler with a TR2-M6, and it doesn't quite do as good a job as the retail, but within 1C. But it's very quiet and also has 3 holes clips and the retail only has a single clip on each end, so I left it on. The reatil fan is only 70x15mm. I'd replace that with maybe a TMD or 70x25mm fan for max cooling. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.htm |

They improved the back plate and mounting screws. This universal model is good for all three CPUs: athlonXp, Athlon64, and Pentium4. You supply your own fan so you can chose the type you need for the amount of cooling vs noise. It accepts both 80mm and 92mm fans, so you can get a 92mm for it. It will work great with cool and quiet. The thing's smaller than I expected, but it weights about twice as much as I expected. The only thing you need to do is make sure it fits your MSI board, but I'd expect it will. There's a list at thermalright's website.
