Will a Thermalright S1 128 se fanless cooler cool the above cpu if I under clock the cpu to 1.8 GHz??
 
Why would you underclock a C2D E6300? It's already slow enough as it is...

If you're looking for silence, you can get a cheap low RPM aftermarket HSF cooler, or get a large cooler such as the Mugen 2 and use it as a passive cooler.

You can even overclock with better coolers. (The Mugen2 can passively cool a Q6600 quad core)
