Default Aftermarket Cooler for 3450?

Hey there, i was wondering if there are any cheap coolers which fit on a 3450?

My downstairs pc has a really bad passive cooler on it, and my bodge job zip tied 80mm fan doesnt help much. =[.

I dont want something huge because it isnt going to be overclocked so it only needs to keep cool at stock. Any suggestions would be great !

Maybe an Arctic Accelero S2 (not the Rev. 2). It will cool just fine when used as passive solution.

It is quite big though, and not 100% sure if it will fit. Maybe others have some input on this.

Yeah, i was thinking of getting this, but then i wasnt sure about the size, the 3450 is a tiny card, i think this cooler might damage it. There are 2 Thermaltake coolers, AT1 and AT2, but it says it is compatable for x1900's and nothing else?

Yeah, I know the Accelero fits on the 2400 and 3600 series though.

Don't know about those Thermaltakes either

Xigmatek VD964 if you can find one.

Or a Vantec Iceberg8

All that i know of that will fit that card for sure.

As long as its the reference model.
