Low Profile Cooler for AM3 Socket

[PEXON]

Hi guys, I have a M-ATX board with Corsair Vengeance RAM, I'm looking for a low profile CPU cooler to fit in my case (NZXT M-59), but will clear my RAM, as the heatsink on them is quite large. The RAM slots are in 1 and 2, not 1 and 3, as that is the way mobo was designed and as stated as the correct slots in the mobo instruction manual. I can't afford to swap my RAM at the moment, I am looking at upgrading in a few months to some Mushkin RAM (as they are nice and stealthy) and a Noctua cooler as and when funds permit, but for the short term I need a low profile one. Any suggestions, much appreciated. I have had a look at the Scythe Shuriken, Gelid Tranquillo and Zalman versions. Thanks a lot guys, again, any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Many people will tell you that Im wrong but I think that the Coolit eco II 120 on aria is the best way to go here - only £32.99. I know that it will fit in your case as I've got the same case and cooler.

Look at my review of it on aria

Nice one mate, that looks like the Kuhler H2O... will have a look at the reviews of it.

It's the corsair H60 because the companies merged together

It's exactly the same just different badge on top

Nice one, I think I'll go for one of them then. Can't go wrong for the price, plus its only a short term solution. Cheers guys.
