E2140 & Low profile heatsink/cooler

[lozza]

Looking for a low profile preferably passive heatsink for my E2140 htpc setup as i've read/seen somewhere that the E2140 runs quite cool (maybe a toms hardware chart, but typically i can't find it again now) i'm hoping i can get away with a passive cooler.

However, most of the passive coolers seem to be for 1U (771) but i have found the AK-395-2 which is for 1U (775) so i'm wondering if this would be suitable. If not are there any alternative heatsinks to passively cool the E2140 or is this really not a good idea?

The other with alternatives are the Zalman CNPS7500 or the CNPS8700 but i'm not sure i can fit either of those in a case that's only 11cm high!

Any ideas?

BorgFX® CPU classic with a large flat alu heatsink

 

[lozza]

Am i right in thinking that the BorgFX is a case heatsink (that some how attaches to the case) for a special Borg case? and that i will be looking at attaching a large piece of alu to work as a heatsink?

If i have that wrong then i'm a bit lost as i can't find any ref. to a heatsink in it's own right
