Good, Quiet HSF for 1800+

Hey yall, I have a Volcano 6Cu on my AMD 1800+ and was wondering if anyone could lead me in the right direction to a good and quiet hsf... Been looking at Volcano 9, Volcano 7+, and Zalman CNPS5100ALCU, but can't make a solid decision! I want quiet, but don't want my processor running in the 52+ C region... any help will be appriciated!

I myself have the Volcano 7+ and love it, because I can adjust the fan rather than the temp prob. This is not a super quiet solution, but it is not noisy and if things get hot you can always turn it up.

Mounted a Volcano9 CcoolMod on an AMD 2400+ that I just set up and, so far, the CPU stays in the 37-40c range, thats with the fans set at 3900-4100 rpm which is quiet compared to the max rmp of 5200+- when set at mat rmps.

You can set it up at max fan speed output all the time or it has an external dial that you can use to set the rpms from min 1300 to the max rpm of 5200-5400 rpm depending on the reporting source, or it also has a thermal diode that you can attach to the CPU and be controlled by the temp of the CPU.

Right now I'm using the external dial.
