Hey guys, I am building a new HTPC and would love to hear your thoughts on cooling ideas for it.

Case:
Inteset 1U media PC case - http://shop.inteset.com/Products/36-1u- ... -case.aspx
Suggested fan is Dynatron K199, but I would like to investigate quieter alternatives

CPU
Intel i5 3570T - http://ark.intel.com/products/65521/Int ... -3_30-GHz)
This CPU has a max 45W TDP

MoBo
Intel DQ77KB - http://ark.intel.com/products/59046/Int ... ard-DQ77KB
One of the few boards that will fit into this case.

Reading through a previous thread viewtopic.php?f=8&t=64013&hilit=k199 it is apparent that the K199 and K2 are relatively noisy fans.

I am wondering whether a standard fan will work with the limited amount of space or whether I can load up the case with 2 more 'silent' system fans (3 in total), like the fractal designs 40mm silent series http://www.fractal-design.com/?view=pro ... ry=4&prod=73 and attaching a passive heatsink to the CPU.

Did you ever fit the i5 3570T to the DQ77KB as it's not listed on the CPU support list?
