Quiet but good HSF?

mjm953 · 21-April-04, 05:48 PM

Ok heres the deal - I've had my SLK-900A and 92mm tornado for a while now and the rheostats on the front of my case that I've used to keep the noise tolerable but now both of them have gone screwy and wont stay turned down ..

So I'm looking for a good preforming HSF thats quiet or a more normal level compared to my crazy tornado (which surprisingly almost cools better at 1500rpm than anywhere near its max).

Thx for any help

Why not replace the $2 rheostat?

You won't find a HSF that will perform much better.

True... but the rheostat is built into the case, so I'd end up having to get a soddering iron and all that as well wouldnt I?
