Hi
I have purchased an AMD 3000 64 and I intend to overclock it a wee bit - i've been looking on the market for fans mainly on ebay and also sites such as ebuyer.com but i'm still lost as to what fan i would like to buy...
i basicly want a fan that is quiet but also very effective.
is there a specif design that i should look for and one that i should avoid?
