The Evercool Buffalo HPFA-10025 is a lower-noise AMD Athlon64 heatsink for socket 754, 939, 940 and AM2 processors. A fan resembling the kind used with the Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro heatsink is employed to move air relatively quietly through the aluminum fins. The Buffalo's fan rotates at a fixed speed of 1800RPM, and is supported from the aluminum fins by four hidden rubber pads. The idea being that the pads will prevent fan motor vibrations from transferring to other areas of the heatsink and causing additional noise. The 100mm fan is suspended from the motor to reduce airflow turbulence and noise.
