I need some help choosing a CPU cooler for when I switch cases this month. The problem is that I need something with a small width/height footprint so I can clear my memory fans. Since upgrading to 8GB ( 4 sticks ) I needed to install memory fans or Prime95 would error out in 15 minutes or so. With the fans, I can run it all night.

But this limits my options on CPU cooling. The reason I want a new cooler is the stock one is dirty and noisy, Im worried its on its last legs. Worst option is I get another stock one, but I would prefer one with better cooling/design. Height should not be a problem as I am upgrading to a SilverStone Fortress ( X-Mas Gift ).

CPU is a 3Ghz Extreme Edition Core2Quad, 135W so its pumps out some heat.

Ive done a bit of research and small coolers that score well on Frosty Tech seem to have poor reviews on Newegg.
