http://www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/view.a...77&code=009 <-- expensive but worth it
http://www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/view.a...37&code=009 < same as above only cheaper.
http://www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/view.a...38&code=009 <--- my brother has it and its cheap and works perfect

Graphic card:


http://www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/view.a...89&code=013 < expensive but hell worth it
http://www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/view.a...78&code=013 < Scared to put it, no fan
http://www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/view.a...92&code=013 <--- i think about taking this 1, its almost the best, and cheapest..
http://www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/view.a...50&code=013 <--- cheap, but stupid, half of the heat sink omg

tell me what u think is the best 4 me, and if u have other fans to suggest pls do.

cpu...
if no overclock... just use the retail 1..

graphic?

get the 1 with no fan

[didinino]

its not overclock that i attend to do, its just quiet & silence that i seek

can u explain why should i take the 1 with no fan? (u speak about the blue, right?

[0000000]

if you want something quiet then get one with a very big and expensive heatsink and a cheap low RPM fan for it. Or just get watercooling.

[Amano]

out of the blue??

:/

no fan = no noice

dun take IQ of over 200 to figure that out

[didinino]

lol so i&#39;ll run a heavy game and poof, graphic card is toasted

+
those fans at low speed are almost silent, u cant hear them unless ur ears are close to ur case.
but thx for help on it.

any1 else have experience with this issue?

edit:
about water cooling
besides its price, it must be maintained all the time and that huge heat sink takes alot of space..
as for other cooling systems, the water arent getting cooler just like that, fans do it... so point is wasted when talking about silence (it does perfect job for overclockers thats for sure).

[Amano]

this is what am using



i dun think me.. or most of the people out there would buy it if it blow up on us someday

thats a freakin nice heatsink man

how much does it cost btw? :S my budget is low and that sucks.

and how does the gpu works with heavy games (lets say ko at server 1 moradon, or just crysis xD)

[Amano]

even my old FX5200 run fine at server 1 KO... at turk time...

dunnno bout crysis... run Oblivion 4 and it run fine...

[didinino]

well that sounds convincing...
so if i take the CPU fan that throws also into the GPU, u think i&#39;ll be able to hold heavy games ?

aka this 1:

[Amano]

i think...
just use the retail heatsink and fan for now...
if its gets too hot/too noisy.. then look into the extra stuff :/

and wack an 80mm fan or 2 on ur case.. for the airflow..

that should be good.


btw: the noice might be from the dust.. so.. once in awhile take em out... give em a good clean up... this works for me.. reduced a great deal of noice

[wOLfi]

bigger fan = lower rpm = less noise h34r:

[didinino]

yea well about the airflow i am cleaning the comp sometimes, and i do have only 1 120mm fan that "tries" to throw are into my comp, but its standing in front of the HDD so it basically does almost nothing, and when i check the temp of the HDD he&#39;s very high- 46C+-

i have 1 fan 240mm at the back that pulls the air outside, and i also have a 120mm fan on the power supply that sits under it and cause the air to go outside the case as well.

so.. besides adding 1 more fan from the front, is the combination in that pic worth it on gaming?
more thoughts maybe?

[Amano]

1 more at the side.. to suck air in

[didinino]

oh yea, i got 1 room for 80mm fan i think, i&#39;ll put it there as well.

btw, i&#39;ve seen on Zalman&#39;s installation of a case fan that u can connect it to 2 types of Volts, 5V and 12V (5V for low noise ofc, 12 for max operation).

do u know how can i determine what connection belongs to who?
i mean, i get a fan and a connector, how do i connect it to the 5V?
