I searched for a bit but didn't find too much in the way of low profile HSFs. I just have a stock AMD hsf ( I think a CU core from an old opteron) on this BE-2400 (overclocked so when encoding temps can go aorund 55C) which fits fine but tight on my HTPC case. I would like some suggestions on a hsf that is no bigger than the combined ~60mm height of the stock cooler that would provide better performance.
I am also thinking of upgrading the cpu soon to a low grade quad at 65W to keep the heat down but a more efficient hsf would probably needed for that anyway. I did see a Scythe Big Shuriken SCBSK-1000 120mm CPU Cooler for about 34 bucks + shipping.
I could also just pour 35 bucks more into a new low power cpu and stick with the hsf and not overclock much...
Any thoughts?
