Spec me a cpu cooler

could you tell me what make/model of case youve got, and if you have RAM with tall heatspreaders or not? i dont want to recommend something that wont fit
 
Ok Reaper, thanks.

Case is an Antec 1200, so a big brute of a thing.

I'm using Corsair CM2X low profile ram in slots 2 & 4 - heatspreaders worth talking about.

Board is an ASUS P5Q-E. Just having a look at it, there are some copper heat sinks on the board either side of my current cooler so it could be a tight enough squeeze, unless these things are pretty samey in width.

thanks. the ram looks like its standard height so it wont be a problem. i doubt that the motherboard heatsinks will be a problem either.

unfortunately antec have decided it would be best not to tell anyone the maximum cooler height for the case, but it looks big enough to cope with most things.

depending on how much you want to spend, i'd get one of these:

1 x Thermalright Silver Arrow CPU Cooler (Socket LGA1366/LGA1155/LGA1156/LGA775/AM2/AM3) £54.98
1 x Antec Kúhler H2O 620 CPU Watercooler (Socket Intel LGA 775 / 1155 / 1156 / 1366 / AMD AM2 / AM3 / AM2+ / AM3+) £42.98
