Thanks Microcenter for the $99 X6-1045T+motherboard deal... great upgrade for my wifes computer.

The issue is the HSF - the fan is annoyingly loud.

I want to replace it with something quiet - not interested in overclocking, so uber-cooling isn't necessary.

Bonus points for a solution where I don't have to re-yank the motherboard to install extra brackets.

You can undervolt it slightly and play with the smart fan in bios (raise the temp), you might not even need to change the HSF.
