When we narrow the focus down to those looking for a near silent CPU cooler that won't break any budgets, Asetek's VapoChill Micro Ultra Low Noise CPU Cooler with Fan Controller fits the requirements nicely. Capitalizing on their refrigerated cooling experience, Asetek has developed an economical CPU cooler whose number one focus is a drastic reduction of ambient noise. Typically, combating ambient noise requires a sacrifice in performance in an effort to quell fan noise. However, with a refined vapor chamber backed by a liquid bearing fan, the Vapochill Micro takes on today's stock coolers with a better, quieter design, without taking a performance hit in the process.
