Quiet cooler for a home media server

[Erfurt]

Hey guys

 

I looking for a quiet cooler for my home media server. Looks doesn't matter to me, because I will rarely look inside the case. It has to fit inside a fractal design define mini. I don't want to use my intel cooler, because in my opinion it's loud. I'm not doing heavy OC if any at all. I have been looking a bit on some of noctua's coolers, but I think it might be a bit overkill, but I don't really know. Any suggestions?

Either Noctua or be quiet!

 

be quiet! Shadow Rock Slim -> 161mm tall

Noctua NH-L12 -> will fit almost anywhere

 

Or you can try get some really cheap cooler and replace it stock fans with some better fans if it will save you money. But the performance and noise of it is questionable then.
