    Smallish C2D e6850 Cpu Cooler

    Gooday chaps, need a bit of advice. I need a better cooler for the CPU (E6850) but its not for Overclocking. On this system everything is running standard but I leave the system on 24/7 as it is currently Folding for Hexus so the CPU is constantly sitting on 100%. With the stock cooler the temps don't go higher than 54c according to Tat and Coretemp, and that is fine according to most things Ive read. But for 24/7 use I would like something a bit cooler and maybe quieter. What Im looking for must include:

    1: It must cool the Mosfets a bit aswell or at least create some movemnt around there as my Case(P160) has only 1 intake and 1 exit fan(both Scythe S-flex 1200's) and not much air is moving around the Mosfets and board in general.

    2: I dont wanna have to take the board out to use a backplate, and such huge coolers aren't really needed if Im not Overclocking right? I will remove the backplate if I find a cooler thats perfect but it just seems unnecessary

    3: Price isn't a prob I just want the best choice.

    4: Dont want an AC7 Pro cos Ive had one and it was the flimziest thing going, allright for some I guess.

    I have read many reviews about tons of coolers but they dont mention cooling around the Mosfets which I need. One choice so far is the Scythe Mine(meenay), I dont think it uses a backplate but it doesnt look like it will spread its windy love over the MB being sandwhiched like that.

    Anyways any suggestions are appreciated

    Damn looks like I will have to use them if I want one.

    I didnt want a massive cooler like the TR 120 Extreme, just something medium sized that cools the Mosfets aswell as the Cpu.
