Cooler with Centurion 5 CPU vent duct?

I have a no-window Centurion 5 case with the CPU vent duct, and am about to do a new build. Other than stock, what CPU coolers (for C2D) will take advantage of the duct? Most I've seen blow the air along the MB, not perpendicular to it and out the vent.
 
i think the more likely qeustion is; what motherboard actually lines up with the duct? my A8nSLI sure didnt. I just removed the duct and it sounds a lot more quiet.. and less clutter to deal with. I really suggest removing the duct regardless, since it doesnt seem to do much.
 
Removing the duct, and taping over that vent with electrical tape dropped my temps 3 degrees and reduced the sound level of my HSF by a few db.
 
take out the duct. it rarely matches up with the cpu anyways and its length rules out the possibilities of using any high end air cooler with it.
 
It kills airflow in the case. Unless you have a perfectly to spec board, with a stock amd cooler, and the duct extends that far.. useless.
