Hey Everyone
I've been doing quite a bit of recording on my computer at home and would like to make it quiet... (by quiet, i mean, you can't hear it).
So far, i've mounted psu fan and chassis fan on grommets (also running chassis fan a 7 volts), mounted hdd's on grommets (cannot hear them anymore), so it's going pretty well, but now i've realised that the noisiest part of my computer is actually the cpu fan and heatsink.
It's a PIII 1000 on the Asus CUSL2-C and currently has the heatsink with clip on fan that came with the cpu. I was thinking of introducing an air gap (check out
www.overclockers.com/tips457 ) between the fan and heatsink. This can't be done (easily anyway) on mine at the moment so i'm looking for a replacement. I'm not doing any overclocking and i want the quietest one around.
Money is not an issue
ps: i live in Melbourne so any locations could help
