Building a quiet PC (Athlon 2500+ based)
This is a discussion about Building a quiet PC (Athlon 2500+ based) in the Windows Hardware category; Hi, After a LOT of research, I've decided against water-cooling (it's just a big pain in the @$$ right now). I was wondering how I could make an Athlon CPU quiet without it constantly overheating, or me underclocking it.

Its near silent except for the large 92mm fan spinning slowly above it.
I think its only aropund 17-20db noise....

                                                    I too was tired of a loud pc so I mounted an 80mm on top of my OCZ all copper heat sink. System stays around 100F. The important thing is that the system is super quiet now.
