[QUOTE="gibman, post: 719105, member: 25430"] why bother with 100% passive. Im running an AMD Athlon II X2 240e (energy efficient edition, approx 40watt) - Im just using the stock cooler along with speedfan installed. I never hear it. Make sure u buy a motherboard with proper speedfan support :) [url=http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php]SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer[/url] you could configure speedfan for a target temp for cpu at 60 celsius. then it could sit at 0 RPMs on the cpu fan for 90% of the time. I highly recommend speedfan as u have guessed :) Just not all motherboards seem to be compatible. I have this one here: it has 2 fan headers that are working with speedfan from 0-100% gigabyte GA-MA78LMT-US2H /gibman [/QUOTE]
