PAL6035 + low cfm fan enough?

[DougK62]

I'm building a new system with a Duron 900 on a KK266 and was wondering if the PAL6035 would be sufficient. The fan that I plan on using with it is the 13.2cfm/16.1dba Adda seen here. Is anyone running a similar setup? I'm wanting such a weenie fan because noise is a big concern for me. I'll also have an 80mm intake and an 80mm exhaust uf undetermined brand - but probably between 20-25dba on each of those. Thoughts?

I have that exact setup on my Tbird 1000 at 1.69v. At idle, it keeps it 14ºf above ambient, and under load 35ºf above ambient.

I highly reccomend this setup if you aren't planning to overclock and want a stealth system.

I've got somthing like that. you will find that it cools well at idle, but high load goes way high.

Suggestion for 80mm case fan. Extremely quiet, good permformance

I'm all in favor of quiet computers, and a proponent of Alpha sinks, but I think you may be going too far. Check Gizzo's to see what's really out there, anything with a dBA rating in the low 20's is truly quiet. Some of the Sanyo-Denki's look particularly good, although I haven't had the occasion to try them.
