I have a Q6600/GTX260
At the moment, My PC is fairly loud with stock cooling, and it runs quite hot...
Basically, I'm about to order some new fans and heatsinks. Just thought I'd get a last opinion on my choices before I go ahead and order.

NOCTUA NH-U12P SE2
It's like a fucking ninja in my PC. The case fans are louder.
It keeps my i5 750 below 40c at load, even in this summer heat.
It covers socket 775 so no worries there.
I just tried looking for some reviews of the A70 and couldn't find anything, it doesn't seem to be anything special anyway
I'm going to suggest the U12P SE2 as well [url]http://www.scan.co.uk/products/Noctua-NH-U12P-SE2-Dual-Fan-Quiet-CPU-Cooler-Intel-755i7i5-and-AMD-AM2-3-Compatiable[/url]
noctua are well known for being good at this sort of thing
Consider that swapped then :)
Thanks! That CPU cooler looks really quiet :D

Well, Decided to replace the case fans with noctuas too.
I like things to match :3:

May I suggest the Hyper212+? It may be cheaper and a better performer; the stock fans are pretty quiet, but you can swap them out with the Noctua ones easily.

No

Ok
:saddowns:
Swap your fans for some Silent Eagle 1000's they are much quieter than the ones you have chosen yet shift the same amount of air, in fact they are some of the quietest fans you can get (that spin at 1000rpm)
According to the specs I've just seen they're not quieter at all.

Yes they are, they are 19dBA vs 19.8, OK not much quieter but they are much cheaper, only £10 not £17 each.
