Can anyone recommend a good noiseless CPU cooler. I have an Intel Core
2 Duo running at 1.86Ghz.

Also who makes a good 8cm case fan?

Thanks a lot!

Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme Aluminum Heatsink might do the trick.
 
Cool. Doesn't have to be totally fan free, just quiet. Does anyone
know what socket no. my processor is? : /

Nevermind. It's a 775, I found out. Sorry about the pointless question.
 
Between the 2 choices I would pick the Thermalright.
I ran one of their older models with a 120mm Fan and not only did it cool
effiecntly but with the proper fan it was quiet.
You add an 120mm fan of your choice with low noise level and a high airflow
and you'll be grinning from ear to ear

I'm running Scythe Ninja's on two of my systems, I'm really happy with them.
I do see though that the Ninja has been ousted from the top spot by the
Thermalright Ultra-120 (another poster recommended this).

Ok but will it fit my case? See the PSU is very close to the
motherboard, there's nothing in it. Or do these fans fit every ATX
case?

Yeah I have looked at a few tower-block fanless coolers, but they
scare me due to their size. I am clumsy when not paying attention, and
I might knock the cooler one day while my case is open. Or it might
not fit?

No guarantees, but you can get the measurements and ballpark it.

Another possibility, see if you can buy one open-box (returnable without
a restocking charge at my favourite store, since it's already open) and
hold it in place to see how it looks before mounting it.
