Socket A heatsink question

    I've got an oldish socket A pc setup which I put an all-in-wonder card in and have outputting to the tv, the psu just blew on it and i'm relacing it with a new "be-quiet" psu so I thought i'd replace the cpu cooler with something quiter as well (currently using an arctic cooler similar to this :http://www.hitide.ie/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/21_23_46/products_id/234 , which has an annoying whine to it). I have no mounting holes on the board so it has to be a clip on one which sadly rules out all the zalmans for my board, it doesn't need to be high powered at all it wont be overclocked nor particularily strained. I can't seem to find any kind of average cooler to say clip on an ultra silent papst 80mm fan or the like, just monster Thermaltake types that weigh vast amounts and require screwing on. Any suggestions for a near silent socket A cooler that doesn't require mounting holes?

    Why not try a cheap Water cooling kit like the Thermaltake Aquarius II.

    Cheers for that greglo, it's perfect, light and uses the clip system :D . As for water systems, it'd my first stab at a watercooler and I think i'd feel safer leaving a bog standard cpu fan/sink running behind my tv, besides, i'm skint :p
