[WTB][US] stock heatpipe AMD AM3 cooler

[stinger608]

Pretty much what the title states, LOL, looking for one of the stock AMD coolers that have the heat pipes for an HTPC build. Either one of those or if someone has a great low profile cooler I would probably prefer that

Thanks in advance

I was going to say I had one, but I checked and it's the older pre-heatpipe cooler for S939 parts

I don't have one for sale, but I can make a recommendation for aftermarket parts, if you would like:

I'm using a Scythe Shuriken in my HTPC. Works great for a dual-core, if you need a really short HSF. A quad might be a bit much for it. (see reviews) It's 64mm tall.

If you need more cooling than the Shuriken can provide, the Ninja Mini works well, used it on my PII X4 940BE and was able to get _almost_ stable at 3.5Ghz with 8GB of ram. Works great for it's size if you can find it somewhere. (seems to be out of stock in most US stores. NCIX's Canadian side has it ) 115mm high.

The Scythe AMD mounting brackets fit almost disturbingly tight, which is a good or bad thing, depending on your point of view.

Get one of these:

Rosewill RCX-Z1 Long life ball bearing for over 45...

It's what I use on my 4p setup and my PII 940's when I had them.

I bought 1 of these. Same cooler as stock but with a 80mm fan. The fan is a 3pin and to loud for me. I replaced the fan with a manual control 80mm and I am happy with it on my 125w 940.

I also bought a stock cooler from here. The little fan can spin up over 5K. It can be noisy but kept my 940 in safe temps.
