Low Profile CPU Cooling?

[MrDeanie]

Can anyone suggest a high performance CPU cooling, It needs to be low profile (small) so it can fit in my case. :L
Any advice and/or suggestions are very welcome.

Thanks in advance

What case and motherboard (make/model for each) are you using?

And Thermalright XP140 if It'll fit.

The Big Shuriken is indeed a pretty good solution, if it will fit. I have 2 of them in use, but could not use with a socket 775 mobo in an Antec Minuet 350 case.

The regular Shuriken might have worked. Some Zalman HSFs will also work, but to make more recommendations, the make/model of mobo and case questions really need to be known.

HOOAH!!!

the big shuriken is not the one you want, it's low profile but extremely wide
the shuriken rev b is roughly the same size as a the stock AMD phenom ii x4 BE cooler, good size..

True, it is wide! Couldn't use in a Minuet with an Asrock Socket 775 mobo, but could with an Asrock AM2 mobo (new system build for my sister-in-law). Models definitely matter.

This Zalman (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118062) and several of their "flat" HSFs like this one (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118048) can work in many low-profile/HTPC cases.
