Hey all, looking for some feedback and information on my next build...going to be picking up a pair of Nidec Gentlephoons for push/pull on the GPU rad as well.

Originally I was planning on using the AXP-100 with the Silverstone 700w SFX PSU, but i've been wondering about using a larger CPU cooler to help with a mild OC, or just having lower general temps since the rad is for the GPU. I've seen some crazy dual rad SG13 builds but that seems pretty inefficient.

Using the 82mm clearance for a CPU cooler for the SG05 (which I think is the same as an SG13 w/SFX PSU), best cooler I can find seems to be the AXP-200 (minor improvement). Can anyone else suggest a better CPU cooler for this particular build? I thought about using the AXP-100 and an ATX PSU as well, but I couldn't find any I liked that fit the 140mm/150mm restriction.

I guess this question is in regards to CPU cooling options, I'm not aware of any reason to find larger PSUs attractive in this particular case.
