Using a Thermaltake blue orb II right now and it's just not cutting it, I mean this thing is terrible what a waste of 50$. I'm sure it's on right and using Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste. Temps are hitting 70C in 20 minutes of load on e8500 with 1.21v @ 3.8ghz.

My antec skeleton case has a low clearance for a cooler so I'm in desperate need of one, newegg doesn't really have a vast choice of high performance but low profile coolers. Need suggestions. Please!

S1283v is the best cooler you can look at for pricing + it comes with the retention brackets

Maybe because the OP said "My antec skeleton case has a low clearance for a cooler".

This is the best low profile cooler I know of:

ZALMAN CNPS8700 2 Ball CPU Cooler - Retail
