The Dell D9729 heatpipe cooler fits easily. Purchase it with the cooling shroud if your shroud design differs. The T9303 model offers superior cooling, but you'll need to adjust the D9729 shroud by relocating its six heatpipe holes to achieve a proper fit. This setup will cool any CPU compatible with the unit. It's built for 120W Penttium D CPUs, though your system has a 95w limit. I used this configuration with the E520 in my previous build. Verify your current shroud layout for the six-hole pattern. The D9729 features holes arranged in two rows of three, while the T9303 uses three rows of two. The covers remain fixed, but the coolers can be swapped if you modify the holes. You may already possess a T9303 cover.
