Had one of these on an AM1 CPU. Actually posted a thread right here... https://forums.bit-tech.net/index.p...ini-itx-pc-now-with-pics.278711/#post-3688081 Worked very capably for three years. The only reason I decommissioned it was because of a burnt out component on the motherboard... https://forums.bit-tech.net/index.php?threads/something-fell-off-my-motherboard.339197/#post-4451426 Otherwise the CPU cooling worked just fine. I would say the only thing to be wary is the Motherboard and RAM. If you're aiming for a passive design then both these components need ventilation and heatspreaders to deal with any hot componenets such as VRM. Just something to keep in mind!
Cheers Buddy , Currently running a HR-02 passive but it's heavy on the socket and the NoFan is a 1/3rd of the weight.
Something else worth mentioning is that I found the mounting brackets adaptable. It's not supposed to work with AM1 motherboards but by pivoting the CR-80EH bracket instead of fixing it with two screws makes it very easy to attach to the CPU. Just need enough room to manoeuvre around the CPU!
