What Heatsink Fan is Quiet and fits on stock 939 mobo brackets?

Wrong forum 😉 Go to Cases&Cooling. The stickied reviews at the top of the page.

Read about the AC Freezer 64Pro. Under-rated but very good HSF. It's not pretty=so what.

I use a TR XP-90Cu.The reviews for 64Pro indicate the stock retention bracket is used.

Search the C&C forum for the posts of sincity(iirc) or for this HSF. The guys really
like it and most MBs don't have to be removed. It should be installed with the fan off
the sink, then the fan installed. I'll be buying a 7Pro for a P4 2.8. The fan is rubber
mounted=quiet 😉

To add to what Galvanized Yankee recommended, you could also try:

Scythe Samurai Z

Thermaltake Silent 939

AMD stock 4-heatpipe heatsink

All of these use the stock bracket and install as easily as the retail HSF. As far as noise is concerned, you can always turn down the RPMs on the fan at the expense of some cooling performance. Even Thermaltake fans are near silent when spinning at <1000RPM. The Scythe is nice because it comes with a 92mm fan (and a pretty decent one at that), but you can always add the SilverStone 92mm-on-an-80mm frame fan to other heatsinks that normally take 80mm fans.

 
I use the Thermaltake Silentboost K8 (not venus) and it is near silent. I have it in my system and I can barely hear anything from the case at all. You can click the link in my sig for system details.
 
I use the TR XP-90Al and its very nice. You could get it from Jab-tech where it comes with a 90mm TR fan. You can always get another fan if its too loud for you.

XP-90Al

This one spins <2700rpm.
 
If you really want QUIET, you don't even want to be asking the question here at AT. There are more performance oriented members than HTPC oriented. You want to visit FrostyTech for one, and AVS for another. Frosty tests the better HSF's against strict standards for both cooling capability and quietness.

AVS is oriented to HTPC members.
