CPU cooler recommendation for gigabyte ga 45 ud3p

[jerryb]

I am having difficulty finding dimensions of the CPU center to board edge. Need it to decide which cooler will fit. Recommendations or dimensions acceptable. Thanks

Do you have some type of case limitation?
Anandtech tested the GA-EP45-UD3P using the Vigor Monsoon III LT

My TRUE 120 works well on my UD3P.

Ok you're still looking at the Sonata Elite and a quiet system setup?
Scythe Mugen 2 or Noctua NH-U12P would also be good choices.

Mugen 2 would be noisy at load...

Yes I am still loking at Sonara Elite. All the recommended look good but very, very large. I think since I don't think I will be overclocking I will try a large cooler. Currently looking at a small one, ASUS V72
