Wanting to build an AM1 server soon and want to put something a little better than the bundled cooler. I know that cooling wise the stock cooler shouldn't get too hot but I want to make sure that it's quiet by using a bigger fan or going passive.

Having trouble finding anything that will specifically fit. I read that some nb coolers might fit the mount.
 
I built a 5150 kabini as an emulation machine but eventually sold it on, they can be passively cooled easily by modding an am3 heatsink (tapped two holes through it in opposite corners to where the fan used to be screwed and then bolted it on) :

That was clocked at 2ghz too and ran without any issues
