Which CPU Cooler for quiet HTPC

[lorddeath]

I need a very quiet CPU cooler which will fit me case. It need to work with AM3 socket. My specs are

Motherboard ASUS M4A78LT-M
CPU AMD PhenII X2 & 2G
Case COOLMASTER Elite 360 Mid Tower Case

The AMD stock cooler is loud, I tried ARCTIC Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 CPU Cooler but its too tsll for the case and was difficult to fit.

Thanks

Good reading here....but a bit outta date but it's AMD specific:

All those heatsinks are probably too big for the mini tower case since it is only 5.8" wide.

I would consider the Scythe SCSK-1100 100mm Shuriken.
