    i just got my phenom II 940 and i put it in but it produced a lot more heat then my phenom 9600 did. i am currently using a zalman 9500. i need to find a good cooler that will fit in my nzxt alpha. the cooler would need to be 135mm or less in height. i would like to have the cooler blow the air out of the back of the case. i bought an ocz vendetta but soon after i got it i found out the only way to mount it on am2 is for the air to blow up into the psu. any suggestions?

    I think Noctua (NH-U12P) can be mounted both ways, and TRUE.

    I think it has the same mounting system as the TRUE, so you should be able to mount it both ways.

    Too tall, too heavy, too overpriced (last one is IMO)

    One of those would be perfect, but my favorite is the NH-U9B. Get 2 fans in a push/pull setup and you have one awesome cooler
