So I just built a HTPC with a X2 3800+ AM2 65W. I wanted something that would cool better then the stock Aluminum cooler. I bought a Thermaltake Silent Boost RX K8 after reading good reviews but it doesn't fit in my Ultra Microfly case. I'm not really planning on OC'ing so I was thinking mabye the Thermaltake Silent 939 K8. Do you have any other suggestions, thanks.

There are a lot of good cpu coolers out there but you may want to take the measurement from the top of the cpu to the top of the case to see how much space you have before buying your next one.

I think the Zalman 7000 (copper one) would work as it is much lower in profile than some coolers.
