Building a quiet PC (Athlon 2500+ based)

[HawkBoy 0]

Hi,

 

After a LOT of research, I've decided against water-cooling (it's just a big pain in the @$$ right now). I was wondering how I could make an Athlon CPU quiet without it constantly overheating, or me underclocking it.

I too was tired of a loud pc so I mounted an 80mm on top of my OCZ all copper heat sink. System stays around 100F. The important thing is that the system is super quiet now.
