Low Profile Cooler

[AydST]

Need a very low profile cooler that is QUIET!!!!

We've got loads but the fans are all to noise even if we reduce the speed and passive cooling is not an option.

Any ideas?

What exactly are we cooling?

Intel/AMD/GPU?

Yeah and what sort of mobo. Need to know if u got some nice space for a wide flower thing or u got loads of caps around the socket.

I just put a Zalman CNPS8000 on my CPU, runs great. Loud at full blast but it comes with a fan controller, you can turn it way down.

thats too big we've tried

Cooling Intel to start them possibly AM2 as well, needs to be small and neat

Is water not an option?

How about the Silverstone NT-06 Lite? It's a good passive cooler.

Its be useful to know your maximum dimensions and the processor you are trying to cool (i assume you arent overclocking etc). Is anything possible whereby the heatsink could be seperated from the cpu itself using heatpipes like the silverstone NT-01 (not compatible with AM2, just for clarification). What case or enclosure has this got to fit into?

Just had a quick look, the Cooler Master Susurro is 41mm high and the NORTHQ 3392 only 27mm. These will both be pretty poor performers though compared to modern tower heatsinks and with the NORTHQ its hard to tell how noisy it will be though with the CM you can always change the fan.
