Cooler needed for mATX mobo/case

[lonema]

Could someone recommend a decent cooler, or a choice of coolers, for AMD Phenom II 545 build that uses a Biostar TA790GXE mATX mobo and a Rosewill R101-P-BK mATX case. My assumption is that I need something with a low profile. Since I'm not planning to push my O/C, something on the less expensive side would be preferred. Thanks.

Thanks. Neither of these are listed as being compatible with the Phenom II/AM3 socket. Is this an issue or should they still work ok?

Here you go. Fits AM2/AM2+/AM3 socket mobos.

Thank you. Unfortunately newegg doesn't make it easy to search for a mATX-compatible cooler that supports AM3.

both the coolers i suggested will fit clip directly onto the mounting bracket on the board, whereas the gield requires you to change the backplate, am2 am2+ and am3 use the same mounting equipment

@xaira - I'm leaning towards the Arctic Cooling one you recommended. When I looked at the pictures I noticed that its height is not the short dimension, i.e., it is about 4" tall. I assume that this is still short enough that it will fit in the mATX case.

Thanks again for the help.
