Hey everyone, im sorry for asking yet another question about my new (and first) computer build. Everything is up and running great. I built it to be pretty quiet as i have it sitting right next to me and use it for watching movies and such regularly. Its got 120mm and 140mm fans everywhere u could put one lol, thats not the problem. What i didnt take into acount, was how much friggen noise this stock CPU heatsink would make! lol it regularly spins at a roid-induced (this, im sure of... ) 4-5000RPM. Sometimes even faster.
So, this needs to go as its reeeeeaaally anoying lol. But, as im starting to regret now, i had cheaped out on the case and MB for products that were "all i would need". So i got a smaller case that is great for this, but not a real good amount of space. And this motherboard is pretty compact i think as the graphics card is pretty much right beside the cpu.
I want a heatsink that is really quiet, but can cool my 6-core processor. I was looking at the Scythe SCZP-1000, but i am doubting that it will even come close to fitting lol. I will likely need a 120-140mm fan to be quiet enough. Watercooling sounds very expensive and hard to setup, is this really the case?
I was hoping maybe one of you guys could help me determine what would be best for me. This little tiny fan just wont cut it, and my case doesnt look to have the size to fit a bigger heatsink. Heres a pic of the setup. Let me know what you think, or if theres some info i should post
Thanks
