Right I need to order a HSF that is quiet and will keep an XP1600 cool. I need to order this asap so it needs to be in stock.

Its to fit in a Yeong Yang A105, so height could be an issue with tall HSF's and a Zalman Flower is out of the question due to a lot of capacitors around the socket.

Any suggestions people?

Its to be a quiet 24/7 box in the same room that I sleep in, im more used to the laptop being on 24/7 instead.

Passive isnt really possible on an XP processor, and water cooling is out for this rig full stop.
