Low profile and low noise FM2 HTPC cooler needed

Sanchez · 25 Jan 2013 at 10:55

I've just finished putting my HTPC together and one of the noisiest components is the stock 5700k cooler. I'm after a low profile replacement to fit inside my Media Vision case. Needs to be as quiet as possible and I'm not looking to spend much more than £30. I won't be doing any overclocking as the HTPC will be used just got watching media. Has anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks.

something like this should be an adequate job

Scythe Shuriken

Thanks for the replies. I did look at both of these. How is the Gemini II for noise? And with the Shuriken, are they any quieter than the Samurai ZZ? I guess any of them will be more quiet than the stock cooler.
