I currently have virtually no cooling; I'm afraid my system is going to overheat on me this summer. I want to create a system that is both cool and quiet. It doesn't have to be a silent system, but I would like it to be fairly quiet. Can you recommend me case fans, a good quiet HSF, and a quiet powersupply? I really appreciate your help. Here's my setup so you can get a good idea of what my heat output is, and what kind of cooling my case allows for.

Thanks so much for your time,
-Jonathan.

Case: MAXTOP Signature CSX-147K2F
CPU: Desktop Barton 2500 333 MHZ FSB w/stock HSF running at stock speed
Mobo: Soltek NFORCE2 SL-75MRN-L
RAM: 512 MB PC3200 Corsair XMS
PSU: SPARKLE FSP350-60BT 350W
Vid. Card: Radeon 9500 softmodded@9700
Drives: Generic 16X DVD Drive, NEC 2500A DVD-RW/+RW, 120GB Western Digital 8 MB cache version

Thermalright SLK-700 HSF
Vantech case fan, any model 27db or less
CoolMAX power supply

These wouldn't be your only choices but these would do what you are looking for.

Aye, Coolmax 140mm PSU is just plain awesome for getting the heat out.

Thermaltake Silent boost works well if the case has proper ventilation. (21 decibals)

My review is offline, however, the PSU isn't...

Quite a change in temps if you look at the tables on page 2...

Your case has two 80mm fan outputs on the back, or the multi fan mountings?


Two 80mm fan outputs.

Thanks for the suggestion,
-Jonathan.
