Antec Aria CPU Cooler

[WJA96]

I've been asked to build an Antec Aria - normally I would use a Zalman cooler, but the small one is out of stock most places that charge sensible prices .

I bought a blue orb thinking that should fit. but it's about 6mm too big. The motherboard is LGA775 so my other choice (Swiftech) is also out of stock.

AC Alpine 7 cooler is too tall. Does anyone know of anything else?

SFF is not my thing, have you thought about modding the blue orb? (If its possible)

Yes, I thought about it for about 20 minutes, then I ordered a Golden Orb (the 92mm version of the 120mm Blue Orb).

Let me know how it goes, I'd be interested to see how it compares to a 7000b.
