Soooo, my I rused my case study (case joke) and my case won't accommodate most tower coolers because it's width is too small. So I was hoping someone could point me to a high quality/performance cpu cooler under 155mm.

I don't wanna go downdraft because in such a thin case that air has to come from somewhere and the cpu is right under a window (rather than a vent). If I have to I will cut out the window and just let a taller cooler poke out but i was trying to avoid that.

Finally, if all else fails, water cool?

i think this would be good http://goo.gl/EQGbC Depends on your cpu im not sure what kind of oc you will get. Not very high maybe 4.2 or 4.4ghz on intel. You could get an h80i or thermaltake water 2.0 pro.
My favorite...
