buddy of mine is looking for a very quiet but effective hsf for athlon 64 3500+ cpu, socket 939. Anyone have any recommendations. something that will fit into the stock mounting brackets preferred. He has a msi neo2 platinum nf3 mainboard.

thanks
 
Im not sure if you want ultra high performance, but a good substitute for stock cooling would be the Arctic Cooling Silencer 64 ultra. PTS has it cheaper than anyone else here for 18.49

Or you can go for the Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro from the Egg here for 34.99.

i think both should use the stock mounting brackets. but if you really want a good cooler and dont mind spending a lil more, go for the Scythe Ninja.
 
I was just not sure if a 92mm fan would fit with this motherboard, the cpu socket is very close to the video card. Was going to have em go with the zalman 92mm one but was unsure on clearance.
 
The 120 zalmans are known to be pretty silent and are usually the top recommended hsf for quiet htpcs

You'll be okay if you change the orientation of the Freezer64 Pro ;)
