Please give me some advice/ opinion on a very quiet heatsink for my Intel Q9550 on a p5q-e mb. This will be used in a digital audio workstation so quietness is essential.

I've heard about Zalmans being good but not sure if there are any particual series

The stock intel hsfu is pretty quiet. I would also suggest the Scythe Orochi as it was pretty much designed for silence and is the quietest cooler out their.

Some heatsinks can be used without fans. Be sure to check the temperature at load if you use one of them. It should not go over 70ºC at load.
