nforce4 mobo without hsf issues?

I'm planning my HTPC build which must be a very quiet machine. I would like to go with a socket 939 motherboard with PCI-E graphics capabilities however it seems all of them have cheap/loud HSF on the nforce4 chipset. It seems all manufactures placed the chipset very close behind the PCI-E x16 slot so many replacement solutions would interfere with custom GPU cooling like NV5 silencer. Are there any boards that come with a quiet chipset HSF? Thanks!
 
Solteks VIA K8T890 board is really nice and uses passive cooling (dead silent) also a few of the NF4 Ultra boards have some quiet fans read some reviews most of them will tell you how loud the fan is.
