I kinda new at this. I was running a XP2100 on a biostar board but I just got ahold of an ASUS A7M266-D and two AMD MP 2000+. I have this all in an aluminum Alienware Case. I have been running 4 80mm case fans, a True Power 430 with the 80mm in the back and 90mm on the bottom and a Thermaltake Dragon Orb 3. I need some ideas for what to use on the CPUs. The dragon orb is driving me crazy it is way to load with a high pitch whine. I would like something that isn't so loud. I've also considered liquid. What do you suggest.

Welcome to PCA!

Lot's of good cooling solutions for those cpu's and without that gawd awful whine. These are about the best there is and both will cool darn well using a quiet fan like the vantec stealth. I use an Antec blue lighted fan and it does very well and is very quiet.

Other good solutions are the AX7 and the SK7, both cool very well using a quiet fan similar to the stealth. The Vantec AeroFlow looks to be a good solution also, we have a review on it coming soon.

For dealers carrying any of these I suggest to check the top menu bar on "Buy and sell". Those are all good sites which should give you no troubles.

I'd go liquid...I'm going to get myself an Asus A7N8X soon to run my 1800+...but I'm going to add a 2700+ or 2800+ shortly after and water is my only solution as of now.
