ok, so here is my story.

i got a AMD Phenom II 550

i want to be able to unlock all 4 cores and overclock it

whats the best, for the price and is reasonable in that price

most quiet

under 120mm (would be over 130mm if i was not worried about he side fan being too close)

heat sink i can get to get the max out of my computer?

Get the Megahalems with a magma 120mm fan with it... you can overclock like a BAD ACE then man and you will not be disappointed at all

1, is way too tall, 16cm tall would not fot even without a side fan XD
2 is same story

3... no change
4. this story is getting boring XD
5. taaaaaalneess!
6........ WHAT THE HELL IS THAT! im too afraid it may eat me while being too tall.

did i not state it needs to be 12cm tall? >.<

 

[cloud8521]

...... fact 1

i need a new case XD

 

[cloud8521]

after remeasuring seems i can accually fit 14cm or 140mm

if i remove the fan i can put in your sinks but i like to keep it for airflow purposes.

... im unsure about their numbers they are confusing i guess i mixed up depth and height

plus that will cost me nearly 100$ to get to canada XD

This is one of the best lower hight cpu coolers for the money.

Here is a comparison. It is only 5c behind the mega with the stock fan.
