[wellylug] CPU Cooling

[Jethro Carr]

hi all,

I want to replace the case and PSU on my aging celeron 433mhz machine,
which is my file, print and music server. The only problem is that the
CPU and PSU fans sound like grinders and the current case is really
badly designed for everything. Infact, I would swear that the designers
do not know what airflow is.... :-(


I'm looking at replacing it with the following:

Has anyone here had any experience with it?


I really want it to be quiet too. Currently, a large amount of noise is
being produced by my 60mm fan on the CPU. The heat sink is small,
6(L)x6(W)x2(H)cm, but in this silverstone case, if I took off the fan,
would the cpu be cooled enough by the fan sucking next to it? I'd like
to stay away from using small fans as they are usually whinny.

The CPU is by the fan in the bottom left of the picture below. It's only
a celeron so it doesn't get very hot. I can't give you the temperature,
as the bios is rather simplified and won't tell me much.
