I have purchased an ultra x wind HSF only to find it is too wide for my MB. I ended up putting on the stock HSF. Is there anyone in here that can recommend an effecient high end air cooler for my rig? Please refer to my hardware specs. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I took a gamble and ordered the Thermalright 120 extreme. It fit fine (without the air funnel) and dropped temps to around 30 idle (a significant drop). Very happy with the result. 3 SFLEX 120 F21 version installed too. One one HSF.
