Need a silent fan

[Grisu]

My PC is killing my nerve because it is so damned loud. I always thought that it's the case-fan, so I started looking for one of these silent-cases.

But when I opened it again last week, I realized that it's the processor-fan (I just bought the cheapest available) which is making most of the noise. So I decided on replacing it.

Does anyone know a good (and of course silent) processor fan? I got a Athlon 1GHz-Processor (Socket A)

maybe look for a review in AMDMB.com

The best results with a fan can be achieved with a Pabst fan. They are the most silent ones.
Of course, if you want to have complete silence, use a water cooling system or even more.

Place the case outside the room.

Thanks for the advice, I'll look for a pabst-fan. Of course, a water cooling system is out of the question since I haven't unlimited funds to burn

How much does a good water cooling system costs?
And is it possible to buy a water cooling system or have to be build by self?

Well, you can build it yourself, but I wouldn´t advise you to. There are even some self-build packs out there, but I´d rather not trust one´s own abilities too much.

There are a few smaller companies around selling a water-cooling system, for not too much (~50-200€ in Germany). Just make a web search in your country.

But it's possible you know someone who's into such things... It may be worth to try and get them to make one for you.

Thanks. I'll search for it.
