I've used the Arctic A30 Freezer, and am using the Arctic Accelero Xtreme IV. They make good product, especially for the price-point.

I agree, I've used a few of their Freezer coolers in system for friends and I have a few Arctic Accelero Xtreme 3s. They make good products at a fair price, although the higher-end GPU coolers can get expensive I respect that they're expensive to design and don't sell in big numbers.
 
I have an Athlon 5150 and the stock cooler is nearly silent even with a fan and the CPU at full roar. I don't really see a real reason for a completely passive cooler other than to say that you have a passively-cooled system. However, if I hadn't already made the system a year ago, I'd certainly pay the $10 for the regular M1 just to not deal with the cruddy Intel push-pin attachment mechanism of the stock AM1 heatsink.
