The quietest 120mm fan

Hi

I need the quietest 120mm fan. Regardless of price, power usage, air flow amount, etc. Just the quietest fan out there.

Also, what's a good Fan control software out there?
Thanks!

Re: Mini-ITX in Shuttle G5 chassis

Hey how did you flip the fan on the samurai ZZ? I think right now my fan blows up (away from the CPU) but I heard that blowing down onto the CPU provides better cooling. Right now my cpu which is i3 540 runs at around 80 Fahrenheit at idle so I want to try other ways.

What I'm trying to get at is is there a temperature x degrees celsius that if a CPU is near/above x degrees, you would say "crap the computer's overheating and not good for the hardware"

I really like my Arctic Cooling 64 Pro. It's 30 dollars on newegg and occasionally will go on a free shipping deal. It's got a 92mm Arctic Cooling fan mounted on it with rubber mounts therefore eliminating all vibration. The only issue is that when the fan is at 12v it is loud, stellar cooling, but...

I might be using Core 2 Quad Q6700.

What should be a healthy temperature for the CPU then?

Arctic cooler 7 pro

Hi.

I read the review from spcr that says that arctic cooler 7 is silent at low fan speeds.

What is the easiest/simplest way to controll the fan speed for CPU coolers?

Thanks

AM2+ Silent fan

Hi. I'm building a AM2+ system. I need someone to recommend me a fan that's quiet. I won't be doing very cpu-intensive tasks (basic web, mail, word processing, STARCRAFT). I prefer that you find silent fans from Tigerdirect or Newegg because that's where I'll buy most of the stuff. If you know other...

HDD vibration

Hi. I have a desktop PC and it's making this buzzing noise that REALLY gets to my nerves. I checked the case fan, CPU cooler, and the HDD. It's definitely the HDD. It's the vibrational nosie because when I apply pressure to the case with my toes, the noise dies down. Sometimes, I hit the power key a...

temperature

Hi.

What is the highest temperature in a computer that can be maintained without damaging the hardware?

So what are the highest core, ambient, CPU, etc temperatures and what do those different temperatures measure?

thanks
