So this is the case im working with, I have a clearance issue, my best estimate from the base of the socket as you can see in the pic is 51mm, I roughly estimate with the thickness of the cpu included that I have 46mm or so to really work with safely (ie not cutting it to close). This happens to be the unhappy middle ground between 1U server heatsinks which I would like to avoid and full size sinks at 55-70mm.

I found this unit here, ARKUA 838T-7G, it is the perfect height (44mm) and is very quiet and should do the job. Of course I CANNOT find a arkua distributor on the internet, pretty rediculous. So its looking like a 1U solution for me :(

any suggestions?
 
custom make one, take the 1u cooler and cut that in half then use on of them really thin 70mm fans.
 
Awesome nice find, I was looking at the Vortex Dream but stupidly never thought to simply swap out the fan. I'll order one of those bad boys right now!
