I know the question kinda of an oxymoron but are there any HS/Fan's that are both fairly quite while still providing good cooling?

Iam looking personally to go up to around 1.6Ghz(CPU is an AMD XP whatever the number was for the 1.4Ghz model can't remember it ). Iam currently running at 1.5Ghz @ 143FSB x 10.5 with temp @ 44c no load/Webbrowsing etc to about a MAX of 55c under full load after a long night of gaming and large divx por...er just gaming ......

Anyway my current HS/Fan is "CoolMaster HSC-V62". It has a Full copper HS and a heat controlled 60mm fan(Thermal control is off and it is Running at 6800rpm all the time). That might sound like a loud combo but it is pretty accually quiter than the Volcano7+ it replaced(long story. Put short it died I got what I could quick and was happy)

Any suggestions?

P.S. MB is a MSI K7T Turbo2(sig has not been updated yet)

how bout a humungous thermalright slk-947U pure copper heatsink and a just a regular 3200RPM 8cm case fan? the heatsink would definitely keep the cpu cool overclocked, and the fan would hardly make any noise. but that'd run you about $60-75.

or get a Thermaltake Silentboost. their real silent and the heatsinks all copper too and its only about $30

Well price isn't a vary large concern at the momment.

I just want to get more out of my CPU. At the same time I don't want my computer to be super loud just because I want to OC my CPU

Get a Swiftech. Their coolers are capable of keeping a CPU at moderate temperatures WITHOUT a fan! Just get that and a good 92mm silent fan. You're set.
