    best place to reference when looking for a new cpu cooler is this site:
    http://www.frostytech.com/top5_lowprofile_heatsinks.cfm

    then when you know which one you want, try scan, ebuyer, dabs, overclockers, aria, etc...

    Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
