Need a new CPU-fan...

[Llhweiir]

I have a 3 year old computer, a Fujitsu-Siemens Scaleo, P3-1000 Mhz. It is kind of slow, but since all I do is play Civ3 it works fine for now. The problem is that the CPU fan is starting to buzz a bit too much... It has been noisy from the beginning, but is now getting worse, so I guess it is time to change it.

What I am looking for is a fan that is as quiet as possible, with a maximum cost of 400 SEK (about 50 US$). The market is full of companys that claims that teir fan is the best-of-the-best-of-the-best, so I thought I should check with the real experts, you guys...

So, what should I get... A Zalman? A Panaflow???

Zalmans or Panaflos work well and are quieter than most. Make sure you get the right size. To get the size of your existing fan, measure the box that conains the fan blade from edge to edge in millimeters.
