does anyone know if i'll have any problems running a Scythe Mini Ninja passive on a stock clocked Dual-Core E2200 Conroe 2.2GHz in my Blu-ray equiped HTPC?

Cheers

I'm running a Scythe Mini Ninja passively on my E5200 in a Antec Fusion Case.
The 2x120mm side exhaust Noctua's are pretty close to the Mini Ninja tho.

I've got to fit the Bluray drive in the next day or too, I'll take some pics then

If there's a case fan nearby to draw the air through the heatsink, it'll be fine. Otherwise, it'll be dependant on case temperatures and so on.

If you're after silence, you could grab a noctua 120mm fan for it.. they're pretty much completely silent.. mine's inaudible even with my head in the case

well one of the 12cm scythe Kaze Jyuni 500RPM Slip Stream's will be blowing across it so should help?

I have one in my Antec Fusion as well. Have strapped an 80mm noctua fan on the lowest setting to the side of it and cannot hear a thing.

Cools well without a fan in a case with good airflow.
