I use a Nexus LXM-8200 on mine. Essentially silent and keeps everything cool. It doesn't have a gigantic footprint either, but it is fairly tall.
I would recommend a bolt-through kit with this or any other big cooler.

In fanless mode the HR-01 Plus isn't better than the Ninja 1. Scythe Orochi and TR IFX-14 are recommendable too. (but quiet expensive)burebista wrote:CoolerMaster Z600 fanless, Scythe Ninja2 fanless, Thermalright HR-01 Plus fanless.

Any of those threee heatsinks are better than my "old" NInja.
I ended up going with the Thermalright HR-01 Plus fanless as i could get a fast delivery on that one.
I must say thanks for all your answers
I am very happy with my new cpu cooler
My passive cooled 4850 can get a litte hotter during gaming than it used to. When i had active cooler on my athlon 64 my max temp on the gpu was about 60-70-80, now it can on occation reach the 90-95. The cpu however, has not gone above 45 yet.
All in all i cant complain. Do you think i might damage the 4850 with such high temps? I could increase voltage on one of my case fans as one og them is only doing 600 rpm.
