[QUOTE="niekh, post: 40958, member: 10457"] Dunno if it's an option in your case (pun intended ;-)) but you could always open up a hole right above where the CPU sits (assuming a desktop style case here) and make some kind of duct on top of the CPU fan that seals against the case. This way your CPU will draw "fresh air" from outside the case (usually resulting in dramatic drops in CPU temp) and heightwise you will have a lot more options when picking a CPU heatsink and fan combo. Thermalright SI-97A fits socket 939 and accomodates a 92 or 80 mm fan. SI-120 can take a 120mm fan! Lots of tests praise the Thermalright so check it out! [/QUOTE]
