That's the main reason I still sell people the older 478 processors if they want a quiet system; at least there's a choice in coolers. In time that'll happen to the new socket, but until then, I won't recommend them...

I was dissapointed at the sound level from the stock cooler for my Athlon 64 3000. Typically stock coolers are reasonably quiet, but this one aint. Im gonna have to find a new one at some point
