Best performing CPU Cooler under 140mm in height

[thenext8seconds]

So far the contenders seem to be the Enzotech Extreme-X, the Noctua NH-C12P SE14 (too expensive), the Zalman CNPS9700 (too expensive), and the Cooler Master GeminII S

 

As for more suggestions, I need something where I'm not going to have to buy anything extra either.

 

Please help me get something that will overclock the Phenom II 955 the best but under 140mm in height to fit in my Solano case.

 

I'm leaning towards the Extreme-X per one member's suggestion, but I don't want to regret it

And I promise this will be my last thread in this forum for a good while. lol

IMO the Enzotech Extreme X will outperform the GeminII, go for the Enzotech. (only con i have about the Extreme X is its overall size)

What about the corsair H50. They have decent performance.

I have the Blue Orb II on my Phenom II x3 and it's short, quiet, and very efficient.

I don't know how it will handle an OC'd processor though, sorry

Again i have to suggest the Extreme X as IMO its the best price to performance cooler of the 4 you posted (normaly id recomend the H50 however i think thats out ur price range)
