[mythtv-users] Good low profile AM2 CPU cooler

[Ma Begaj]

Hi,

I have AM2 X2 3800+ and I used it with a stock AMD cooler. I replaced
it with Scythe Ninja Mini which is little bit bigger than AMD cooler
with fan. You should check the free space in your case. I am using it
passive without fan and it is working great.

there a few pretty slim coolers from zalman like this one:

here are more of them:
