is there any active/passive heat sink i could replace it with so i could get the last slot back on my mobo.
I highly doubt there is an aftermarket single slot cooler and even if there is there is an extremely high chance of it not fitting a 4350
Actually there's a few, esp if you have space above the card.
Scan have got a couple of the older Thermalright coolers on Clearence atm

Other alternative would be to get a copper low profile server type heatsink and mod it to fit.

without the fan ;)
i did find some that will fit but still to big.

looks like i might have to mod something to fit, or take a hacksaw to the one i have but id need to take about 12mm of the top to free up the slot under it.
or if i take of about 22mm off i could put a fan on whats left, but that's not much.
think ill get a second hand one before i butcher the one i have and try it with that, if i can find one that is.
