    ive got a noisy 60mm fan on my standard heatsink that came with my amd 1800+.

    i wouldnt be too confident removing the heatsink/fan and putting a new one on by myself, so would gettnig a new quiter 60mm or 80mm (with 60mm adaptor) fan be a better option? so keep the existing heatsing and add on the new fan... is it an easy job?

    Yeah it's really simple, iv got a 60 - 80mm fan adapter i used before on a coolermaster heatsink,iirc the temp didnt change much but the noise was a lot lower.you can get 80-120mm in maplin blanchardstown aswell but thats prob overklll for you.
