I have to build a very quiet low cost office PC. I have use the
Arctic Silentium T2 Tower and the
biostar gf8200c M2+ motherboard with AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ cpu and 4gb DDR2 800 RAM. I decided to buy the scythe big shuriken cpu cooler because its only 58mm high and i want to use the air hood which comes with the arctic cooling silentium t2 tower to get air from outside the tower directly to the cpu. There was enough space between the air hood and the cpu cooler just the two memory slots from the board are covered but this is not so dramatically and in this way the memory will be cooled also. The scythe big shuriken cpu cooler has an very high quality standard and its easy to install him on am2+ cpu sockets. He keep the AMD Athlon 64 X2 cpu cool without any Problems: room temp. 20°C CPU idle 30°C CPU Cooler 790rpm CPU 100% busy not more than 48°C CPU Cooler 857rpm. Enjoy the silence!
