I was thinking about building a HTPC with the P41.6A retail box processor. It comes with a fan/HS that is temperature controlled. I was wondering how loud these are. Does anyone have an idea?


TIA

Mine's pretty quiet. (I haven't felt compelled to replace the HS/fan combo anyway...)

I have a P4 1.8A and I find the Intel fan/heatsink quite quiet.


At least, it is not the component in my PC that I hear. My power supply fan and hard drives are louder.

I have an alpha cooler on my 1.6a and I am running it without a fan at all while I look for a 80mmx15mm fan. It seems to run fine with regular airflow inside my case.


I can even overclock it, although I have not been gutsy enough to stress test it overclocked.
