I am looking at this CPU cooler

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-042-AK&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=821&name=Akasa%20AK-876%20CPU%20Cooler%20(Socket%20754/939/940/AM2/1207FX)

however I am confused by the dimensions, is it almost 14 cm high?

Sorry for being a total idiot lol

yep that right - and a TRUE is 16cm high - that's why they are called 'tower' coolers.

Think about it the alaska has a 9.5cm fan, plus the fixing bracket, plus the heatpipe bends, plus the top = 14cm

12.8cm high to be exact, yes

Thats 2 reasons to upgrade to a new case then

1) So your new HSF fits
2) Because you have an NZXT Hush

Nah I think it will, It'll be tight though. (jonnylaris from CSM THC?)

Or should I go for the AC freezer 64 ?

the Zalman flowers are always a good bet if your short on space
