Currently my p182 is pretty quiet, but I want to take it to the next level. I think the loudest part of my pc is my zalman9700, so I'm def thinking of replacing it. Here's my list so far:

http://www.jab-tech.com/product.php?productid=3009 x3
http://www.jab-tech.com/product.php?productid=3256 for the TRUE

I'm also not really sure if the yate loons will be quieter than the stock fans at low on the p182.

I have two Yate Loons from Petra's on a fan controller and at 1200RPM they are indeed quiter than the Tri-Cools on low.

Instead of replacing the Zalman you could just get a fan controller and quiet it down.

Or you could swap the fan out.

I now own a P182 and love it. I had the Zalman it had to go.

My thoughts

1. Replace the HSF with a TRUE 120.
2. Replace the stock case fans with very quiet Slipstreams or something running sub 1000rpms - use a fan regulator.
3. Re-evaluate.

Looking at your specs the HSF is going to the very loud. Not sure about the GPU but it might be the next on my list of improvements.

Yeah, I have a TRUE with a s-flex on the way, then maby next week I'll get some quieter case fans.
for the 9700? Didn't know you could do that.
