I've been re-bulding my older machines
(with AMD socket "A" CPUs in them),
using "vintage" NEW MBs,
AND upgrading the old AMD retail stock fans...
I was amazed at the difference in the sound... (YMMV)...
I did not even get the "best" (or expensive) fans...
As a matter of fact, with socket "A", there are some good
deals around, but stuff is clearing out fast, FWIW...

Any one know what the db is on AMD stock fan/heatsinks ?
Model in question is a 6000 x2, sink has thermalpipe tech on it.
Thinking of upping the fan and not sure it would be worth spending
$30/40. Looking at A thermaltake Silent 939 k8 think 19db
