Hi,

You all know more about this then I do.  I've had the 8800gt for a while now, but it's loud tiny fan is getting annoying.  I have looked up some stuff here:

http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/article/2007/12/18/geforce_8800_gt_mega_heatsink_roundup/10

and was wondering about the zalman coolers, but wasn't sure.  Essentially, I really want a good, QUIET, fan, that won't be ridiculously hard to put together.

Thanks, and no responses from Agent003!

Notice the lack of PC Advice in the post even when he quoted the whole post he was replying to.

Notice it.

This is how the chain of reactions starts. Where is my popcorn?! On topic - Knooger has a lot of knowledge when it comes to electronics. I would dare to say he is an expert and he proved it many times in different threads of a similar content. Take his advice Blinkin!

HeyBlinkin I'm just curious how you know of Agent's reputation when you are so new to the forum.  I think it's funny that one of your first posts displays great knowledge of the community, or just this one guy.  Like his "reputation" precedes him or something.  Funny stuff.  I'm guessing you know of the current Dread/Agent feud and would like that out of your thread.

But Agent knows his stuff when it comes to hardware, and I think some people are proud of that apparently.  Give him his due

I can bet Agent was a douche while Blinkin was playing a game that Martin boy didn't like :P But yeah, Knooger definitely is a great help when it comes to PCs, same as Lennard and MulleDK. But of course Knooger is more viable choice since he is online more.

Cronky

I've got a good feeling about this thread.

(On topic: I may have built my computer, and currently have a 8800GTX, but I have no clue of what aftermarket coolers would work well. Knooger seems to be da boss right meow.)

Blinkin is by far not even new, you just haven't seen him because you were apart of the console scene way back when. Blinkin only posts when he wants something or is curious.

Blinkin and I have known one another for a long time , have had our history of rivalrys and have played together as a temporary team , back when there wasn't certain shmucks on this forum that I will not mention.

Lol Blinkin  Im sure you remember this..  AgenTX_003  says : PMS   * certain person gets pissed off xD *

Besides, it's Splinter Cell, everyone knows everyone.
Except you, apparently. Not part of the harmony.

theres a few people ur missing that applies to that rule of not being apart of harmony, but to an extent people know who everyone is.

But anyone who's anyone knows everyone, so anyone I'm missing isn't really anyone.

My apologies.  How could I be so blind?  I feel so ashamed and unwanted!  I just figured that less than .000000000001 posts per day was impossible

But the question remains, why would he disregard agent?  Because of "rivalries"?  Nah, something deeper.  I think we're on the cusp of a global conspiracy the likes of which we've never seen. 

Or he just doesn't like agent that much.

Read the thread title -> keep it within topic -> profit?

Lol guys, I was around for a long while.

I also used to go to by HeyBlink05 before and if you look at your splinter cell chaos theory manuals, under the "dedicated servers" section, you will see my server there :D

As for agent, I'm just playing.  I just can't believe he still plays chaos theory... lol

KnoogeR, is there any particular fan you would recommend?

Either of these?

VANTEC SF12025L 120mm Case Fan

Antec TriCool case fan
http://www.amazon.com/Antec-TriCool-case-TRICOOL-120MM/dp/B00066ISFC

What I really want most is a quiet setup.

Can I use this as a guide? And do I need those little heatsinks?
