if you go into a computer shop you must know the model of your processor and the fan will be labelled with "silent" or "quiet" but if you ask a person there if there is one should be fine they will give you the right one if not then just find out your model of processor and just look about on the internet for a suitable one that is either for your exact model or above your model never go under your model and as i said it will be labelled with silent or something

different cpu's use different size sockets to fit in so the heatsink fan assembly are accordingly different size & mounts differently. the socket 462 which yours is, the heatsink attaches to the socket at either end but the socket 939 for the newer boards attaches the heatsink fan assembly differently. so if get the wrong mounting type assembly, you'll have to take it back to get proper 1.

The reason ddp was trying to tell you "the socket type" was because you usually don't just replace the actual fan, you replace the whole cooling assembly (heatsink AND fan). for that, you need to know socket-type (in your case "A").

Anyway try one of these heatsink and fan assemblies:

or this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835186103

they are both very quiet cpu coolers

Athlon64 San Diego core 3700+, ASUS A8N-E, Sapphire X1900XT, 320GB WD SATAII HD, 2GB Gskill mem. Win XP Pro SP2. Pioneer DVR111D. Nero 6.6.1.4, DVD decrypter 3.5.4.0. ,PS2 V7 w/no-solder and swap magic
