Best CPU Cooler under 150mm that will fit in an Azza Solano

[thenext8seconds]

Will be overclocking a Phenom II 955

 

From what I understand, the cooler's total height can't be more than 150mm with the side fan in the Azza Solano

 

I know there's a mod to put the fan on the outside, but I really don't want to do it personally.

 

The only good contenders I've found so far are the Zalman CNPS9700 LED, the Scythe SCSMZ-2000, and the Cooler Master GeminII S

 

I just want the highest CFMs that will fit in the case for under $60

Noctua NH-U12P might fit.

 

Same with the Noctua D14.

Unfortunately not. They are both 158mm, as is the Megahalems. Noctua and Prolimatech do do a couple of lower profile HSFs designed more for lower profile boxes though.

id recommend the Corsair H50, fantastic cooling. Unless you prefer to stick to air cooling

The Scythe Mugen 2 Rev B is a good performer and would fit and cheap to boot. Newegg have it listed here.

 

Actually Im not sure it would fit now that I look at it again. Reapers suggestion I think is much better.

have you considered the Noctua NH-C12P SE 14 or the Noctua NH-U9B SE2 if you are not planning to do some serious overclocking?
