What's the best 939 cooler that'll fit in the Silverstone TJ08? It's bigger than the usual cube so it has more space. 17 cm from mobo to case door (16cm from top of plastic CPU mount to case door) 4 cm from HSF to PSU. Motherboard is a Asus A8 CSM, it has a back plate so replacement must be able to fit without removing it.

should get a freezer pro in there, might be a squeeze though, would pay to check the measurements so it doesnt interfere with anything else. i.e RAM

also the arctic silencer is a good cooler, very quiet and performs pretty good, Ive used them before in SFF projects. would pay to lap the heatsink though as the finish is pretty rough.
 
That mobo isn't the greatest for overclocking so you won't need anything too spectacular. My mate has a Thermalright SI-120 on his Biostar mATX mobo in one of those small Asus cases that come with the SFF systems - cools his clocked 3200 really well and silently with an Akasa Amber.
 
Yeah know this isn't a great overclocking board. I have the 3700 single core to 2.54ghz, testing (CPU Burn in) load and currently 38 degrees, mobo 31. That's with both 12cm case fans on. Pretty impressive. :)

Any other recommendations for CPU cooler for this board? Might pick up one today. ta thinking about the Freezer 64 pro, can I get my money back if it doesn't fit? Worse case scenario I'll fit it into my Stacker, although have have the Ninja but probably the Freezer is a upgrade over stock?
