Hi,

I'm planning to replace my E6300 stock cooler with something more silent.

I have Antec P180 case with 3 fans on top section (1 intake on front, 2 outtakes on top and back) which has pretty nice airflow. So I am kind of hoping for a passive solution, but I'm happy with a silent fan in it too.

Also, if removing the MoBo isn't necessary, that would be a big bonus.

Here are a few models I've been thinking. Would they be enough without fan for E6300 running stock (no OCing).
This one atleast doesn't require removing MoBo, but would it be enough wihtout fan?
Asus Triton 75

I think this is so heavy that it will require backplate and thus removal of MoBo.
Asus Silent Square

This would probably be the best one, but would probably also require removal of MoBo. Would this be enough without fan?
Scythe Ninja

What about Zalmans, would they be good for this?

I also have Sapphire X1950pro that would need a more silent cooler solution. If you have any ideas for it, I'd be more than happy to hear them.
 
Ultra 120, Tuniq Tower, Scythe Ninja are the first coolers that come to mind. If you search the forums or do a google search you should find some good information on each of these.
