Here's the scoop. I'm looking to do some upgrading soon, and with the Phenoms sucking (and not really having that much money to spend), I'm looking at getting a 5000+ Black Edition. But, first thing's first. I need a recommendation on a cooler.
1. I'd prefer it to be something that won't have a high center of gravity or weigh a lot. I take my system back and forth from college, to LAN parties, etc., and I really don't want to have to worry about my motherboard bending/breaking. So basically, I'm not looking at tower coolers.
2. I've got a soft limit at $50, and definitely no more than $60.
3. Bling's nice, but it's not my top priority, obviously.
4. It has to fit on an Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe mobo.
5. I'm looking at the Zalman 8700, Thermaltake MaxOrb and V1, and Scythe Andy Samurai Master, but I'm open to any and all suggestions.
I have a Thermaltake Tsunami case with a fan above the processor, in case anybody's worried about clearance issues. I can't measure the distance right now, sorry...I'm on my laptop and won't have access to my PC until finals are over and I'm back home.
