I bought 4 of the 1200RPM version, controlled by a Scythe Kaze Q fan controller at the lowest settings, which is around 5v, I still think they're way too loud.
I'm going to replace them by the 800RPM version.

Hi,

I'm looking for a small cpu cooler that must fit in my Fractal Design Core 1000.
Max height is 13.5cm, about 5.3 inches. Cpu is an i5 750 which is now cooled by a nexus r7000.

Looking forward to your suggestions.

I don't think the Noctua fans are quiet at all. Also I have a feeling this review is just a press release from Noctua.. Too many kind words?

Nice this is my setup: Intel i5 750 @ 3Ghz 1v cooled by Nexus LOW-7000 Gigabyte H55N-USB3 4GB OCZ Platinum DDR3 1600MHz C7 Sapphire 4670 512MB GDDR3 + Accelero S1 Rev. 2 Intel Postville 80GB SSD 500GB Western Digital Green Nexus NX-5000 Lian Li PC-Q08 Fans: Scythe Slip Stream SY1225SL12LM-P - CPU (6...

the Nexus Low-7000 fits, although I had to bend it a bit, and it cools great (Even a bit better than the Scythe Big Shuriken). 40 degrees idle while fan runs only 600RPM. It will block your memory slots if you're using memory with high heatspreaders. It also blocks the pci-e slot but can be solved b...

no they all fit i have calculated it

Hello, Currently I have the Intel stock cooler running and it's too noisy. I saw a few cooler which might fit in my case but I can't decide which one would be the best for my setup. My specs: Processor:i5 750 @ 3,0Ghz 1.04v / 3,6Ghz 1.13v Motherboard:Gigabyte GA-H55N-USB3 Cooling:Intel stock Memory:...

ADDED:

Antec TruePower Quattro

The Zalman doesn't have a on/off switch on the back. ouch... also it's 21cm long maby it doesn't fit in my case

Ever heard of benching?

Also in the review they use ''old'' hardware.
Which means the CPU limits the GPU's power

I can't imagine that your system needs more than HALF that power? I think a 500watt PSU would be more than enough power, and would probably be much quieter, too.

I'm planning to go for quad sli in the future

Hey, I currently have a CoolerMaster M700 Silent , which has a 135mm fan. But the fan or the fans motor started to make a weird noise. I requested RMA and I can choose from the following power supplies: Antec New TruePower SLi 750W (ATX, SLi) Be Quiet Dark Power 750W PRO (ATX, v2,2 , Modulair, BQT P...
