Cooling AMD E-350

Question

Do it yourself

There is a small home server, an Asrock E350M1 motherboard with an AMD E-350 processor soldered on it.
I would like to replace the processor cooling with a passive one, but I don’t know what parameters to look for. The socket seems to be FM1, but I could not find anything similar on sale.
Help me find cooling for this mat. fees. Preferably passive, but you can just use a large and quiet cooler.

Answer 1

Ice Hammer IH-500NB got up like a native

Answer 2

Here they write that a lot of noise is created by the fan of the power supply.

Answer 3

Socket FT1.
However, as far as I know, there are no separate coolers for this socket.
As an option, buy on ebay a heatsink removed from the motherboard for the same processor, but with passive cooling.
I know exactly what they are.

Answer 4

I would advise not to change it to a completely passive one, but to install such a fan:

(thin 12cm)
There is such a fan in the mini-server itself on the atom. Connected to the mat. board. The motherboard itself regulates the rotation speed. And the motherboard was originally passive. But it got very hot. There, in a crowded volume, a computer is assembled. Inside there is also an SSD and a 3.5 hard drive. I installed a fan, and everything was fine with the temperatures right away. During the day you don't hear it at all. At night, in principle, a quiet rustle is heard, but you quickly get used to them. At night, however, the 3.5 hard clicks very strongly with its heads.

Answer 5

You can look in the direction of chipset coolers, but it will still be difficult to find the right one.
I would advise you to first just cut off the fan on the CPU and see if the CPU overheats (the temperature goes beyond 70-80 degrees) in passive mode. After all, you use the computer as a server, and in the process, a significant part of the heat is emitted by the built-in video (in 3D mode), and since you obviously won’t play toys on the server, you need to remove less heat.
So most likely it will be enough to make a draft in the case so that the large low-speed fans create air movement and it does not stagnate. As a result, large fans will hardly make any noise, and the processor will have enough cooling in passive mode, and other components will be cooled.
