    CPU cooler suggestions please

    I want to look at a new CPU cooler to replace my standard AMD s939 dual core 4400+ one. I like the Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro (so upright, larger fanned, heatpipe types if possible) which I use in another PC but I need one where you can change the direction the fan blows in. It's for an Antec NSK2400 case which exhausts air via 2 large fans from the right hand side and drags it in mainly through a rear vent. I therefore need a reasonably priced cooler that will allow me to turn it 90 degrees to the right of the normal Arctic position.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks.

    Scythe Ninja? I think with the brackets supplied you can attach a fan on any side...

    Don't think the Ninja will fit that case.

    Zalman 9500 is multi-directional, but will need the top fins snipped off to fit the Antec 2400. Zalman 7700 & 7000 are still relatively good and are 'non- directional.

    Edit: Scythe Katana will fit your needs:

    scrandman and dave87 that's appreciated. I'd posted here so that if Scan sold it I'd buy from them though they don't seem to do this Scythe one (which looks ideal).

    Any other suggestions are welcome still.

    Thanks again.

    That's strange. Scan stocked the Katana right up until last week. It might be worthwhile waiting till the New Year and asking if they'll be getting it in again.

    Failing that, I'd go for one of these:

    The review over at SPCR shows one in use.
