    2500 cooling issues

    Ever since i bought my new machine i have had cooling and noise problems. Ive got a asus a7n8xe deluxe mobo and an anthlon xp 2500 processor. I choose this pair because of its overclocking capabilities. My problem began when i bought my heatsink based on sound. I decided to go with a Thermaltake Silent Boost but after overclocking my heat was up at 55 degrees whil playing C&C Generals. After taht i purchased a Vantec Tornado Fan and replaced the fan that was stock on the silent boost heatsink. NOW MY COMP IS TO LOAD TO SLEEP NEXT TO!!! this is a problem. I need quiet! and a machine that i can leave on days and nights. So idoling around 40 celsius. Any suggestions?? im very unfarmiliar with water cooling but im open to the idea if necessary.
    Thanks a bunch

    Well, try a thermalright SP-97 with any quietish 92 mm fan.. my 2500+ is at 2.3 ghz and 49C with my Thermaltake UFO turned down to about half (its practically silent(if it were in its case)) but i found even if you slow a vantec tornado down it still is horibally loud...

    Other than that or one of them other uber hsf will do you unless you choose water.. or phase change (is phasechange even silent??)...

    A Zalman 7000cu is your friend for silence, Also gives very good temps.
    May not fit on your motherboard though.
    I'll check now ->

    Yep, It does fit & I highly recommend it. Does exactly what it says on the tin in terms of silence.
    The only problem is you'll start noticing your PSU fan & it'll become a vicious cycle until you have to buy a £1k ubersilent case.

    I cannot speak for "phase change" but my hydrocooler ex2000 is quiet. I can actally sleep near it without it disturbing my sleep, but saying that I can probably sleep through world war 3 kicking off in my back garden

    The SLK-947 looks a good cooler but I would check with the thermalright website as to which coolers fit the Asus motherboard as I had a load of trouble finding one for my NF7-S so that it would fit correctly without any modifications to the mobo such as moving caps etc.

    You could look into watercooling although its gonna cost yah, alternatively what about another pc that you keep in another room, downloading porn (j/k)

    I have a server in the attic with no screen thats on 24/7 and a pc in my bedroom, the server doesn't need to be anything special if you only use it for small tasks.

    I have had them all; air cooling (both mid and high end), high end water and now phase change and the quietest of them all.....

    ....nVentiv Mach II!

    Fans are configurable and dead quiet at night and I just run my sys fans slow at night - I can hardly hear it!

    DangerDen and Dtek are very good too

    I personally think 1/2" inner diameter watercooling provides best results
