Hello friends!
So the title says it all,
but here's the catch -
the zalman fits in my case (barely) and the others are too tall,
which means i need to keep my case open and buy a new one soon, which i would rather not
i'm also slightly biased towards Zalman because i used their CNPS9500AT for some 6 years straight and it was the best purchase ever - it could even handle a q6700 @ 3.5ghz...
and i sort of feel i'd like to support a company that gave me such a great product,
ram clearance on the cnps12x won't be and issue since i use hyperx genesis and 2nd slot anyway...

and the noctua feels a bit too expensive to me since i'm already going way out for my fx6350 budget build, so the obvious battle i guess is between the medusa and zalman,
however i wonder if the fans will be as good as those on the noctua etc.
but i'm open to suggestions for any of these..
current prices where i live:
Akasa Medusa AK-CC4010HP01 - 66 Eur
Zalman CNPS 12X - 67 Eur
Noctua NH-D14 - 83 Eur
ok i'll throw in these ones as well:
Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 2 - 82 Eur
Phanteks PH-TC14PE - 93 Eur
Zalman CNPS9900 DF - 72 Eur
Prolimatech Genesis - 63 Eur ( just for kicks - i like it's creative design)
