    PC builders! I'm researching heat sink fans/CPU fans to replace my stock one that always has my computer running at 50-60C idle, usually 70C when gaming. Is anything going to restrict the choice of fan I can get?

      @neurario I can recommend Noctua fans http://www.noctua.at, they're ugly but they have a nice noise/throughput ratio. Your only limits are money, form factor and space.

          @neurario Larger fans need less revs and thus cause less noise.
