What would fit here...?

Hi @. I've just built up a linux media server with an EPIA 800 cpu. Thing is, the cpu fan is far too noisy, so I'd like to swap it out for either a passive heatsink (although I don't know if this will provide enough cooling), or more likely a quiet hsf. I'm not sure what would be suitable for something this size. It looks to me like a GPU cooler might fit, but the presence of those capacitors might be a problem. So, I thought I'd ask the experts first (you lot!). Any suggestions? Cheers.

It looks like the 40mm variety of GPU/Chipset heatsinks will fit but the question is if it can effectively cool the C3 processor. Supposedly the C3/C7 processors can take a beating thermally but I haven't had any personal experience with it. Anyhow let us know what you decide to do and how it works out for you. I plan on building a mini-itx system in the near future so it would be good info to know. :cool:
