Any Cheap Solutions ?

For my new WHS 2011 server. Spec :-Gigabyte A75N-usb3 AMD75(SocketFM!) DDR3 mini ITX ~ AMD A4-3400 2.70GHz (Socket FM!) APU Processor ~ Cooler Master Pro Modular 500W.
All hosed in a Bitfenix Prodigy case
It's a quiet CPU cooler I want. I don't want any hydro cooler solutions. I'm a bit inexperienced with AMD (basically a Intel man) but thought I'd try.

Got to be an air solution.

Just to check, is the above hardware you've already bought or something you're planning to buy?

I've bought it but try to qieten down the buzz from the stock CPU cooler
I know its cheap but I think it's cost effective

Ah ok, thought you hadn't bought it and was going to suggest the HP Microserver instead.

One method could be to underclock the cpu, which should quieten the fan. You don't really need anything poweful for a server

I knew it didn't need power whats amn optimum speed. I noticed my memory is well under 1600 rumning at 1066 or thereabouts. I overclock intel chips and boards but seldom use AMD. Thought it good for graphics without a card for when monitoring items on the station.
and of course mini ITX which you pay a premium for with intel (Well for my pocket LOL)
