Question: What is the best CPU fan out there. I'm getting an AMD 3000 400 FBS. I don't want it to run hot. And I do not want alot of noise. Any suggestions?

I like the Falcon Rock Cooler or the WhisperRock II Cooler made by Speeze. They sell at
It is only about $10.00 or $11.00. It has a 8cm Fan.

OK for a midrange Athlon but just adequate for a XP3.0+
At the momement and without having to remove the motherboard to fit, the best two options are:
The new Swiftech MCX462-V OR
Thermalright SLK-900A (new version with three lug retension clip)
Both are expensive but awesome air coolers
Both can be used with 80 or 90mm 25CFM or above (quiet fans)so you have exceptional cooling without too much noise.
If you really want to kick ass either can be fitted with a very powerful Vantec Tornado or similar for the ultimate in air cooled performance.
These are really top shelf coolers that retail between
$45/$55 US Heatsink only!
see reviews and pics.

Thanks guys for the help. I'm thinking of going to use the Swiftech MCX462-V. Looks like a good heat sink. Thanks again.

Has anyone used Zalman coolers?? They are funny looking but they are super quiet and work GREAT!!
I've got the 7000 on my MSI K8T Neo2 with the AMD 64 3200+ in an Antec Sonata case...the system is virtually silent!
