Cooler that faces down.

[raptormonkey]

Is anyone using a cooler that faces down as opposed to the type that is classed as a tower one?

If so, which one are you using and what do you think of it. I was looking at the:

Asus Triton 75 CPU Cooler

Are you pushed for space? Any reason you can't use a tower cooler?

I'm not sure about the asus but before the tower coolers came out I've been using zalmans for ages and they're very good so if your case can't fit high cooler, pick any of the zalmans that aint tower type and you'll be happy.

Yea, can't use the big tower coolers. Would prefer one that uses a fan that can be changed.

Gelid Spirit? Not sure how tall it is, it would be useful to know what size you can fit in there? Or the Scythe Zipang 2. Other than that:

Zipang 2 Looks good but probably prefer one with a 120mm fan like the Asus Triton 75

The best horizontal cooler out there is the Thermalright AXP140 - it's almost a TRUE bent over 90 degrees. If that's too big then the SI-128SE fits most cases.

Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Low Profile is a bit like it, but fewer heatpipes and cheaper. Smaller fan too.

The Silverstone Nitrogon NT-06 Lite is also extremely good. Not cheap though.

Horizontal coolers are very good for chipset cooling, as well as being space efficient.

AXP140 won't fit AMD. SI-128SE Unavailable.

OK - if you had specified AMD then I wouldn't have suggested the AXP-140, but there are several big (r)etailers that have stock of the SI-128 and SI-128SE.
