    Best low profile cooler

    I'm looking for the best low profile cooler for my media PC. I need to keep a 2500/2600K cool at around 4.5 so it should be sufficient for that.

    Something like the AXP140 or similar, mustn't be taller than 120mm if I remember correctly. These stock Intel coolers really are ***.

    This also looks nice and low.

    Although this may actually fit as the case is going to be 171mm high and the cooler is only 140mm.
