I am going for Athlon 1.4GHz soon. What are the most efficient and yet quieter cooler?
for a quiet hsf i would recommend the taisol 760 with the inset copper base. but that's about the only decent cooler i've used so it is limited experience.

Yes, that's a good HSF.
I'm still impressed by the ThermoEngine, running on the stock fan- that's pretty quiet.

AMD Athlon 1.2@1.44 (272MHz FSB)

DiamondMax Plus 60 - 40Gb 7200rpm

JESUS IS COMING! everyone look busy
I'm not so keen on the thermoengine myself. I had pretty crappy results using one, plus it is getting a bit old now as the design does not use copper unlike newer coolers. The Taisol 760 with its copper base is a good solution though. I'd say the best quiet cooling out there at the moment is either the Swiftech MC462 or ALPHA PAL8045 mounted with a quiet 80mm fan.... http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/wink.gif

Watercooling is still the most effective and silent form of cooling. http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/biggrin.gifQuote:

I have the ThermalRight SK6.
I don't know if its quiet with the standard fan but the delta 7000rpm one is bloody noisy http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/smile.gif
I do idle about 29 degrees and under load about 39(sisoft sandra burnin wizard).
