SLK800 if you are overclocking, Vantec if you are a mid overclocker but want value

If speaking of SLK800, then not neccessarily, depends on what fan you slap ontop of it (as the SLK800 comes "bare" most of the time), then your dBa'z will vary. Most users that have the SLK slap a Tt Smart Fan II which at full speed (4500-5000rpm@74CFM'z) is a little loud but not as loud as a Delta Fan or the whiny CM HHC-001 60mm fan that runs at 7200rpm.

on the bottom of the CPU, where the temp sensor for the mobo usually is..

no worries, it works fine with that sensor under there.
