ramian Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 I'm using the Zalman 7000 Pure Cu HSF on my 2.6C and it's really quiet. PSU, I'd say go for an Antec True Power. If you want an aftermarket cooling system for your FX5200, try the Vantec Iceburg Pro 2. I'm using it on my FX5700U and it's quieter and cooler than before.

nateklomp Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Stay away from Maxtor HDDs, they tend to be noisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidSage Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Wrap aluminum tape between power unit and case for stronger airflow and to minimize air leaks.Use rubber washers between screws and HD, CD/DVD etc.Glue audio sound dampening mats on the inside covers of your case.Try to screw all screws a bit tighter.

tubros Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Although you are not saking for it I suspect you will use at leat one case fan. I recomend taking a look at everflow fans. They are a little below papst in performance but also quiteter. However they are much cheaper.I have also noticed that on my more expensive Thermal Take fans it is stated "made by everflow" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
