Passive Coolers

Lo all

I'm hoping to go for a quiet as possible PC. This caught my eye and I wondered if its any good as a heatsink (currently got a x850xt), or am I best going for a zalman (AC's wont fit on the card due to n/b heatsink, If you can find a way of cooling my n/b and having some AC's on, that would be great). Atm I have a rather effective vapochill micro, just the fan on its a tad bit rattly and noisy, so if anyone could suggest a good 92mm fan for that, it would be apprieciated.
I'll add anything else when I think of it

P.S. for the gfx cooler, I would prefer a no-fan solution, but if I have to have a fan, I have to have a fan. Watercooling isn't an option for me, as I'm taking the PC to bits quite regularly and transporting it back and forth to uni, sometimes on the train

When you say AC do you mean Aquacomputer or something totally different?
