I bought a motherboard that came with a rather attractive looking Antec cooler. It is however, very loud.
What coolers are available for this socket, new or used, that would both cool well and be as quiet as possible. I prefer heatsinks that are compatible with Noctua fans.
Have a read here ->> Decent Cooling for Socket 462/A
Your motherboard has through-holes, so you can install Zalman 7k cooler. Or Zalman 6500.
I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.

Only the Zalman CNPS7000A & Zalman CNPS7000B came packaged with the socket 462 mounting brackets although any of the 7000s can mount if someone has those brackets.

Well, like I mentioned already, easier to get some Titan copper cooler with standard fan and a clip mounting which is not crap.
