Cooler Master Sphere Fan
A few days ago my CPU fan started to make a funny noise! Desktop’s PCs create enough noise already and there’s certainly no room for any extra annoying noise!
So I decided to buy a new fan. After doing a bit of research I got myself a CM Sphere fan! I have to admit that I fell for the design rather than the functionality although it seemed promising! Installing the fan was bit of a headache since the manual was confusing and I had to take out the motherboard and screw the fan from the back side; sadly it won’t work with the fan stands that come with some motherboards. Afterwards I didn’t see much of a difference in terms of the CPUs’ temperature, but two things changed! Less noise (the fan is reasonably quiet) and the case temperature which dropped by 2 degrees! I’m fairly happy with it now and the only downside is the lack of support for Intel Core i7 CPU which means I’ll need to change it if I upgrade the pc.

Cool, but the problem is you see its design only once!
I prefer fan less solutions , Zalaman has some fanless cpu coolers. The idea is to replace the Case’s fan with a big low speed one and then use a fanless cpu cooler. you might want to consider this solution with your next upgrade.

i care about the design true; but the advantage of this fan is it cools down the whole case;
fanless designs would be great since one of the biggest issues with desktops are the noise!
