I want to change the fan-out-of-the-box of the Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 2.3 GHz processor (socket S775, 65 V) to something quiet. The system unit is at my feet and the noise is very annoying. Budget - up to 30-40 $.
The regular mode of using a computer is web programming and scientific calculations. Now the fan is spinning at 1000-1100 rpm, the processor temperature is 35 degrees (at the peak - 45).
Search on Yandex Market gave:

Thermalright heatsinks ( HR-01 Plus and IFX-10 ) and Titan TTC-NK95/HS heatsink . Tell me, please, are they enough to dissipate heat (65 V) or do they still need a fan? And if you overclock the processor?
Fans Cooler Master S400 and S200 . Can someone tell me their actual noise level and reliability?

In general, can my task be solved in the given price range or should I look towards more expensive models?

My answer is Zalman Flex 10 . Fans to taste, I prefer to put some Zalman there for 200 rubles. The silence is excellent, I do not recommend passive cooling for the processor, troubles can happen during compilations. You won’t hear any noise as long as you vacuum every couple of months, or put anthers on. Do not forget that the air circulation scheme is important, about 10-20% of the temperature depends on it, I advise you to install this cooler with the “exhaust outside” (ATX-case), not in the PSU.

I have an Intel C2D E6750 (4M Cache, 2.66 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB). processor at home, I bought just such a fan,

call it Scythe Yasya (SCYS-1000) I
completely turned off the fan on it, and it has been working like this for the second year already, I
tested it both under loads and without them, everything is within the normal range

Chur I am for the Cooler Master S400 - I dealt with the Cooler Master Hyper TX - probably the best of the heat pipes in terms of price / heat conductor.
And the s400 has one more U-tube.

Yes, look at any review, the heat sink power is definitely enough for your processor, if the review or specifications say that it is enough for the Core Quad 95W (and most of them are). And choose to your taste (also see the noise in the reviews).
Well, or here specific models are advised to you above.
