mATX CPU cooler

Hey People,

I was wondering if you can give me the top five Intel CPU coolers that will nicely fix in a mATX case... I'm looking at an 15 quad and I'm stick on what CPU cooler I should be looking at...

Also if you want to suggest a case I'm open to suggestions

The Sugos have 70-something mm to play with, so you're looking at stock cooler, something low profile like the CNPS-8000, or the passive SS NT-06 Evolution.

For something like a Mini-P180 you can get whatever you like in there, i'd recommend a Corsair H5O.

The Lian-Li V350 will take full 120.2 watercooling but if you want air i'd have the Scythe Mini-Ninja.

If your running a sugo be careful, i'm running a q6600 with the silverstone NT06, i'm on my second psu now, and it's showing signs of the fan failing (same as the first) I just dont think they can cope with the heat. My psu fan now is already making grinding (bearings) under intense load, wont be long till it's gone and i'll be looking for another.
