AMD Duron 1.2Ghz, HS+F, I Need Advice !

[AMD DURON]

Ok, here's my problem. I have a AMD Duron @ 1.2Ghz with a Thermatake Dragon Orb 3. I bought it because it was cheap to me and had excellent cooling properties. Now after living with it for about 4~5 months the sound of it is driving me crazy. This thing sounds like a 747-400 Jumbo at full throttle!!! I have to shut it down at night or else I have a hard time sleeping. What would be a very nice replacement to my TT Dragon Orb 3?? Give me your opinion and advice everyone !

The volcano 9 is a good heatsink that comes with a smart fan for the money you can't go wrong coupled with AS3 (Artic Silver 3) thermal compound and give you the peace and tranquility you need. Reviews here http://www.overclockercafe.com/Reviews/Tt_Volcano9/index.html

Tottly go with that, because at night it will cool down (Temps and cuz your not gonna use it) so it will go down to like 3000rpm (I think)

Should be alot better!

The minimum Air Flow 20.55 CFM at 1300 RPM - Maximum 75.7 CFM at 4800 RPM
Minimum Noise 17 dBA at 1300 RPM - Maximum 48 dBA at 4800 RPM

No No, I need something that is super quiet all the time during operation and has excellent cooling.

You want super quiet and want also excellent cooling you either have one or the other . You may want to go with something in between like the SLK-800 as mention and connect a YS Tech Fan or a Sunon. You will get some peace and good cooling.
