I'm looking to upgrade my rig over the next year or so. My current processor is being cooled with a slighty-nicer-than-stock generic copper hsf and some generic paste. It keeps it about 50C load and 45C idle, which, while it has never caused a problem, is a little higher than I'd like. I'm looking at a new cooler, but I don't want to buy one that I won't be able to carry with me when I move to 939 in a couple of months. My first thought was a Zalman 7000 CU, but with the socket position on a A7N8X-E I don't thing that it would fit. Ya'll got any suggestions? There's about an inch and a half between the top of the cpu socket and the bottom of the psu, so that would seem to rule out anything like a thermalright xp-120.

and yes, I know... 462 is dead. But I'm slow.
