I was looking around for some differnt CPU coolers and i found some quiet ones but i am not sure which on to get. I have a AMD Athlon 2100+ CPU in my system. I have found a coupple and would like peoples opinions or if you know of a better one just let me. I am going for the quietest CPU cooler because i would like to keep my PC on over night while i am sleeping so that i can sleep:)
here are some that i found that aren't to spendy:

Nexus KCZ-2700 Quiet Athlon XP
Buy here: http://www.endpcnoise.com/cgi-bin/e/kcz-2700.html

Zalman Athlon XP Flower Cooler To 2600+ CNPS6000-C
Buy here: http://www.endpcnoise.com/cgi-bin/e/00040.html
for this one it says that it is 20dB in Silent Mode. but what about normal?

any help is greatly appreciated. thanks

I have the zalman and deffinatly recommend it, mines a 2600+ and runs fine in silent mode even playing unreal2, normal mode you can hear it but it is still very quite.

the best thing to do is get a great heatsink then go for a quite fan and run it at 12v in the day and 7v at night

try the Thermalright SLK-800 and a Zalman fan
