I got one of these babies
Cools my 2.8Ghz P4 nicely, also very quiet when it's on the slowest setting. :)
Yep, completely understand. My upgrade to P4 a few months back was great, except for the noise! :-)Quote:

I've read that the CM Aero's can be a bit noisey, but I've never had first hand experience of them. I almost went for one before my Zalman. Best do a few web searches if that's what you've set your heart on.

Ive got a cm aero lite and as long as it is on medium speeds it is ok , turn the baby on full pelt (i do this before laying games) and its damn noisy you'd think a aeroplane was coming through your room thus the name aero, get it :D
silent and good

Ofcourse, the copper version works better, but I don't think it is a massive difference (correct me if i'm wrong)
Your choice mate :)
