Low profile AM3 cooler 125w

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Got my AMD 955 back from RMA today, have a Zotac itx board on the way.
PC will be built into a Lian Li PC TU200 case with some other stuff I'll be ordering.

Only thing I am really not sure on is the cooler to use. Clearance will be an issue between mobo and PSU so it has to be low profile, the smaller the better. Unsure if there is anything around that could shift the 125w from the Phenom II.

Anyone have any ideas on suitable low profile coolers?

Edit: Just opened the box to find they have sent out a 965. Good times!

How much space do you have?

Looks like it's 80mm clearance from a few sites.
Anandtech had used a Zalman CNPS8000A in their review, might be worth a look.
Zalman site says it is compatible with all speeds of AM3 CPUs.

I'd been looking at a few reviews of the Prolimatech Samuel 17, as mentioned a few posts down from this. Think there'd be clearance issues with the board heatsinks on the Zotac 890GXITX though.

Already not looking forward to this build, the PC-TU200 doesn't sound like the most fun thing to work with.

i sympathise m8 my advice read up and get it right before attempting to put it together i'm just in the process of getting an streacom fc7 otherwise known as a wesena itx7-2 together.
What a nightmare first stock cooler too big then a Xigmatek praeton too big the gelid slim xilence was the one.
Then the bloody memory id already brought corsair vengeance the heatsinks were ridiculously big managed to unclip them and get the memory in! Anyways good luck your gonna need it lol
