Just wanted to follow up regarding my question that originally began this thread. First of all, thank you to the folks who put together the great resources on this web site and to the people who answer questions in this forum. To quiet down the ZEROtherm ZEN FZ120, at the advice of RoGuE, I went ahe...

I got the Scythe 1200 RPM fan it have it installed on my system. I temporarily hooked it up the fan speed control on my case so I could test it out at three speeds -- low, medium and high. I can't measure the RPMs from the controller, but it probably runs at about 500, 800 and 1200 RPMs at each sett...

Great recommendation. I have the 1200 RPM on order and pick up the Fanmate as well. I'll post back with how it went.

Thanks for the reply and the correction. I'm beginning to understand these things a bit more. The Scythe does get very good reviews on NewEgg in terms of noise. Do you think the ZEROtherm ZEN FZ120 with an 800 RPM Scythe SlipStream fan will be sufficient for all loads on the CPU? Perhaps the 1200 RP...

It's been about 6 years since I built a PC up from components, but I'm recently upgrading my system with the following: AMD Athlon II X4 630 Propus 2.8GHz Quadcore CPU ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO AM3 Motherboard ZEROtherm ZEN FZ120 120mm CPU Cooler Corsair XMS3 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM Nexus 430w Co...

Is there a US source for the Akasa APACHE Fan (AK-FN057)? Google is just coming up with UK sources for the fan. The US distributors on the Akasa web site don't seem carry this particular fan. As an alternative, a UK site which ships to the US without too much hassle would be useful as well. Thanks.

Just for the record, the ZEROtherm Zen FZ120S worked fine with the ASUS M4A785TD-V motherboard and AMD Athlon II X4 630 CPU AM3 socket CPU.

Thanks for the response. I'll go ahead and make the purchase and post back the results. I'm 98% certain it will work fine.

It's been about six years since I built up a PC system, but I'm now looking to piece together a new quiet system around the ASUS M4A785TD-V motherboard, AMD Athlon II X4 630 CPU and the ZEROtherm ZEN FZ120 CPU fan. The Specs for the ZEN FZ120 indicate it will work with the AMD Socket 939/940/AM2/AM2...
