My new build is on it's way:

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 FX60
Motherboard: Asus A8N32-sli Deluxe
Ram: Crucial Ballistix 1GB (2x 512)
Video Card: I'll be using my old one until I get enough cash to upgrade again. (maybe 8800gtx)
PSU: either my lian li 500watt or e-power 450watt

Case: Lian Li V600B

I need a recommended cpu cooler that goes along great with my motherboard and case. My case limits what kind of cpu cooler I can use. I was thinking of getting that zalman 7700; however, will block off my ram slots on my new motherboard?
 
I just put in an order last night for a Scythe SCNJ-1100P (Ninja Rev. B) and a Silenx 72CFM iXtrema Pro 120mm fan. Supposed to be one of the best air cooling solutions and very quiet too.

On my old 939 setup, I used the Zalman 7700Cu. Huge fan and not too loud. I don't recall the exact numbers, but I was always around 32C idling and 40C at load. It did reach over the RAM slots on every motherboard I had, but it's not enough to completely block the slots off.
 
WOO another vote for the ninja rev.B. i love it and i run it passively =). this is all with my x2 4400 + at 2.86 ghz. i idle at 29c
 
arctic-cooling freezer 64 pro, hands down.
it's easy too!
just clean off your processor with 92% alcohol, and clamp it down.

ewiz has it for around 20 dollars.

Wow, you live in Antarctica? :D

I live on a hill in sunny So. California.. and my PC is upstairs.. no passive cooling for me. :(
 
don't think that scythe cooler will work, my case puts the power supply over the cpu.. so I can't use any tall cpu coolers; which is a real bummer cause I have a CNPS 9500
 
Wait for that new zalman cooler to come out. 8500 I think it was. Flower design like the 7700, but with heatpipes added
