Heat sink from scan - whats it to be.
What I have gone for so far (not bought yet)
antec P150 (has a 120 mm case fan
gigabyte DS3P
8600GT MSI silent
cheapo DDR2 800
Now Im looking to clock the thing but I want it to be quite quiet. Theres not much choice from scan compared to some other places, so it seems to come down to either the scythe infinity of ninja plus.
With the ninja plus (is the scan one rev B? it doesnt seem so) how far roughly do you think A Core 2 Duo (E4300) could get to. Say if your guessing, if you have read something somewhere or actual experience of running a C2D passive.
Thank you please.

@EtheAv8r:
Nice Idea. I just had the same one(!) Before I go shopping, may I ask whether the experiment was a success? I have the LED fan Tuniq Tower version, with a stuupid manual fan dial on a backplate.
Clearly, if the Arctic Cooling AF12025 PWM fan performs at close-to-silent @ 1100rpm say, then the PWM control would be ideal for my DFI LP UT P35-2TR mobo.
Any thoughts? Thanks for your learned experience.

Re: Heat sink from scan - whats it to be.
the ninja from scan is the rev B i've bought 2 of them and comes with an S-FLEX 1200 fan (very quiet, inaudiable in antec p182)
It's my favourite cooler, as it works so well with low speed fans to the point in some circumstances you can go passive. Thoroughly recommended.
