Heatsink fan?

These will be a fair bit louder than the ones CompMan posted, but I replaced my old 120mm exhaust fan with one of these (see link below) and my mobo/CPU temps went down about 8 degrees Celsius. :eek: Great fans if you're going for great cooling and don't mind a little noise.

Even if you can't stand the noise (it's not too loud, just louder than average) it comes with a 3.5" bay speed controller, so you can turn it down whenever you want.

Basically, if you're going for max cooling, a higher CFM is better. If you're going for as quiet as possible, the lowest dBA is better.
