Try using a Zalman quiet heatsink. They're $$$ but whisper quiet... Personally, my athlon64 3200+ runs at 30c under load, so I've got a low speed, 80mm on it.

I know this > might be impossible with an AMD chipset but hey I can try :) I use the ST-11 Midi Tower from SilentMAXX (http://www.silentmaxx.net) in Black. Together with a Silent Power Supply and a CPU Cooler from the same vendor. They also have Passive Power Supplies, but since I have Harddisks in my tower they are the most loudest part and I use a active PS. I'm very satisfied with this configuration. The Tower has Front USB Connectors and Front Sound Connectors. This is very handy if you have USB-Sticks or plan a Karaoke Party ;-) The Design looks really good beneath my TV. The only drawback is the Price. The CPU-Cooler and the Tower-Isolation are Handmade. I think you can Isolate any tower you have on your own. But I decided against it because of the time. And I am not very skilled in such things ;) The CPU-Cooler in my opinion is better than most "Hurricane like" Powercooler. In the Meantime I also use it for my Workstation.... But if your Chipset needs extraordinary cooling it seems unnessecary to buy other more silent parts.
