I've got an Athlon64 FX2 in my myth frontend.  I'm running FC6 x86_64.
(I tried Fedora 7 but the new firewire stack in F7 doesn't work and
wont talk to my cablebox).  The only issue I've had with it is that
the supplied CPU fan sounds like a jet engine when I'm watching HDTV,
so I'm looking at new CPU cooling systems that might be much quieter.

Does anyone have experience with AMD (AM2 socket) cooling systems?
Any recommendations, or anti-recommendations?  Anyone tried something
like http://www.zalmanusa.com/ ?
