I've current have a Phenom 9500 in a SG03 case. I want to overclock it but my option are limited as their is only about 85mm clearance from the chip to PSU which sits above it. I purchased the Zalman 8700 as I thought it was going to be decent soltuion but, it won't fit, it hits both the north bridge and the memory before it touches the CPU. Ideally I would like to have a heatsink that basically a mini-version of the high profile heatsinks. They have the fan on the side and blow the air through the heatsink, preferabley so the air is pushed towards the back of the case and and not the top or bottom.

I've been looking for a solution that will be suitable, but I just can't find one that seems to work. Any suggestions?
