Quite, the low profile it's not that noticable, but the tall one, is quite heavy, should weigh more than 200g.
Day12 - I just won the day.
I've got an update today
As soon I got home, I grabbed NineBreaker and went to try out the bracket I found at work. Results?...

This... Oh noes, the heatsink is crooked

Seems the bracket is too wide and because of that it wouldn't reach the other corner straight up. What to do? What else do we do related to computers that's not overclocking...
I thought "Mod it god damn it!"

And so I did, and this is the result. Perfect fit! It's not even noticable

This deserves a money shot.
I'm currently testing temps, I'll post the complete results in a while.
