I have built a system and loaded MS windows home server to play around with it a bit.
Currently have an Athlon 4800+ dual in there, but I would like to go as cool and quiet as possible.
Can you recommend a good AM2 processor that I can run with passive cooling?
AMD processor for windows home server build? Want passive

if you can find a 2650e , they run pretty cool.
i have a server with one inside (With a normal heatsink) and honestly it probably could run with the fan unplugged.
there are some on ebay for $20 or so (peopel pull them out of the acer/emachines laptops that have them and the desktop sffs they sell)
pretty hard to get from any other source though. 3250e would be ideal but i dont know anywhere to get one.
