Hey all,

Will hopefully be upgrading to an i7 D0 build soon but I'm struggling to find a cooler that'll fit inside my NZXT case properly & was hoping for some suggestions.

My current cooler, which is a Scythe Mine on a X2 3600, is 150mm high and this causes issues with the cases' side window fan, meaning I had to dremel out part of the fan to allow the side window to fit properly due to the heatpipe caps.

Changing case isn't an option so I need to find a i7 compatable cooler that's smaller than 150mm high. Only option I've come up with so far is the Corsair H50 :confused:

Anybody aware of any others that would be suitable ?

Not entirely keen on 'top-down' options like the Scythe Kabuto, but if someone has one I'd like to hear their thoughts on it :)
