Need a good Low to Mid-profile CPU fan for AMD 965 AM3
7 replies, posted
The AMD965 fan is WAY to loud. I need a good, shorter, not to tall, replacement fan. Budget is $50.
PS, I live in Canada.
How about [url=http://www.arctic-cooling.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=1_43&mID=255]this?[/url]
Hmmm, would you think it would be okay for the Phenom II 965? It seems more designed for Athlon and older AMD's

Or am I just being dumb?
If anything it's cooler and quieter than the stock ones.. but I'll have another look since your budget is decent.

Just realised you have a 965.. the stock cooler on that is meant to be really good. Did you apply it right?

It shouldn't be super audible with PWM.

It's not bad, it just goes way up 4000+ RPM(I think it goes that high, that is what speedfan tells me. It certainly sounds like it.) when playing Battle Field Bad Company 2 and just when it is in load, when it does that, it is pretty damn noisy. Temperatures are fine. Let me look at it though.

Oh, and it is the 125watt 965, not the 140. Don't know if that makes a difference.

First, I'm gonna try to mess with the speeds on Overdrive and see if it stays at okay temps without lifting my case off into space :smile:

if you can find it in the US
This one looks good I'm linking to price-bat seems like a useful site for people in Canada.

Keeps my 965 down to 30Cish idling and handles load great. The stock fan is great, but it is loud as shit, this thing is silent.

And a picture of it setup in my motherboard tray. I know the picture looks kinda show off like, but it was for the post pics of your desk thread and I didn't wanna take another.
