need a new cpu fan... can someone pick one from this list for me?

[lexmark]

well summer has arrived and my cpu fan is making too much noise while in game so i think i will replace it... but my choices are limited, i would type all the models down but i think it would be easier to view from this page

we need to know what kind of socket and what kind of CPU you have!

im not sure about the socket... i just know its vista running on an acer mobo.. fsb 1333 if that helps

We'll need to know it in order to ensure capatibility. Download CPU-Z and it should tell you what socket the motherboard is.

look at the zalman coolers they have, those will probably be the best choice

socket 775 is the only thing that would be running a 1333fsb that i can think of

Only 11 Posts so far, and at least two of them are promoting this fan...oye.

Anyway, to the OP: you said you have a +/-$80 budget, but never mentioned what you use your system for. Obviously, something that's used for general use can suffice with a far less-costly HSF than you would need for a gaming system or the like. Anything along the lines of 'email, word processing, internet, burning music, listening to music, etc.' are things where an average HSF will work beautifully for. To get a tricked-out unit for that type of usage is not necessary in the least, unless you want to brag about what you have (which is fine, honestly!). Why needlessly spend $80 when you can get the exact same results with $20?
