Low profile cooler recommendation for Core i5?

[Papa Lazarou]

I'm going to be putting together a system soon and I plan to use a Lian Li G50 case I've got. On this case, the PSU partly overhangs the processor socket meaning clearance is quite tight. I think a cooler up to about 70mm high should be fine. Any recommendations? I've been looking at the Scythe Shuriken as a possibility. Any others socket 1156 heatsinks that are worth a look?

Thanks

I've been looking at this as well and I've pretty much decided on the Shuriken.

There is also the Nexus LOW-7000, and Zalman have quite a few low profile coolers.

I had a Zalman CNPS8000 that kept a over volted e7200 @ 4GHz cool in a mATX lanbox. If they have updated it to support the i5's I'd recommend that.

Thanks for the suggestions. I don't think the Zalman 8000 is compatible yet, but they have other models that are. I see the CNPS8700NT is quite cheap at Overclockers at the moment so I might get that. Will just have to double check the clearance around the processor.

The stock cooler that comes with the i5 is tiny, but unfortunately it's cooling performance is not the best.
