hey, ive got a core2duo e6850 and the fan is a jet engine, it does not posses a "whine" but more of a big sucking noise, so anyway i want to get a quieter cpu fan, and i would like to compare 3rd party fans db rating with the standard fan to see what one is worth purchasing, my problem is that i cannot find the decibel rating of the standard fan anywhere, i would appreciate if anyone could tell me what the max db you get on the standard fan, thanks in advance!

I recommend this one. I have used this particular model (AMD and Intel) in numerous applications, and it works very very well, and is very quiet. ARCTIC COOLING Freezer Pro 7
