Can I get a recommendation on a low profile, low noise, CPU cooling fan that FITS an Asus M4A78-EM mother board inside an HTPC case. I have approximately 4 inches for height. My rig details are below. The current stock fan is way too noisy for an HTPC. I hear if I get the wrong fan I have to cut into the fins to make it fit. My memory is positioned in the closest slots to the CPU since this is what is required based on my memory for optimum performance.
