| 853017 | 2010-01-28 11:01:00 | I have just built up my Linux server but the fan is hellova noisy - what cheap quiet cooling methods do you guys recommend? Cheers in advance! |

| 853020 | 2010-01-28 18:52:00 | What size fan are you after? Is it a case fan, CPU fan, power supply fan? The general rule is to get the biggest fan you can, so that it can run at a lower speed while still shifting the same amount of air. |

| 853021 | 2010-01-28 19:05:00 | Any particular brands for water cooling? I wasn't keen on spending much more than about $50 ish | adslgeek (14687) | ||

| 853023 | 2010-01-28 22:15:00 | I LOL when people say water cooling for quiet operation....how do they cool the water in the radiator?....fan perhaps? | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 853024 | 2010-01-28 22:28:00 | I LOL when people say water cooling for quiet operation....how do they cool the water in the radiator?....fan perhaps? Well I remember I could passively cool my Q9450 when I was watercooling it. Yeah, it gets hotter during Linpack, but other than that it was passive, no fan running for the radiator at all. Had an Apogee GTZ, Swiftech 3x120mm radiator. |

The only reason for w/c is for extreme clocking IMO |
