do I just have a small case, or is it quite common to have a bit of a problem with HSFs like true/mugen/core contact/fenrir?
My case is 200mm wide. the mobo is offset from the outside by 20+mm, and I have a side panel fan that is 25mm thick.
As you can see, I'm expecting to have difficulties fitting anything thats 150mm+.
So two questions:
Is this common?
What is a good short (by modern standards) hsf for am3?

water cooling might solve your problem? failing that you could make a custom window with a cirular bend in? ir bend your curren pannel? though to get a good effect it might be hard without good tools and know how...
