TT conctact 29 or CM hyper 212 plus?

Still at this!
Buy a ZALMAN CNPS10X Performa it's 152mm tall and will fit in your case.
Better performance then a 212+.

LOL. I'm tired of answering this question every day, all day... :/

But what Davcon said it good advice. I've heard the CNPS10X (if it is the cooler I'm thinking of) loses it's visual appeal after a while though - the shiny copper gets dull. It doesn't affect the performance though, so no worries.

^ great why would you put doubt in his mind LOL!

I agree with Davcon the ZALMAN CNPS10X Performa is an excellent choice
The 9900Max-b (152 mm heigth)is currently back on sell @ newegg $70 - $10 MIA w/free shipping. Based on Frosty, it is slightly better.

also (slight diff between Frosty and Guru in relationship to D-14, but both show above CNPS10X)

PS - It was a real bear to install. prelim testing on my I5-2500k, so far have only taken it to 4.2 and temps were: Lowest core 50C, Highest core 55 C (after 1 hr w/prime 95). Used AS5 so temps may drop a couple of degress. Plan on going higher tommarrow.

@ Toxxyc - The 9900 is Cu w/Ni plating (LOL).

***. I was thinking of a different cooler, the CNPS9xxx ones. They are copper and lose their shine... CNPS10X is a different story!

^ Take a look at the cnps9800Max, not copper looking, and yes the non max are copper.
