Warm....Noctua NH-D14 Cooler $79.00 FS

Not bad. It is a very nice cooler, speaking from experience.
 
Even the smaller Prolimatech Megahalem covers up the first ram slot. This will cover up even more. Can't use high profile ram with these coolers :(
 
If you ditch the front 120mm fan you will have easy access on any AM3 or Intel board (not sure about 775 only newer I know for sure).

Plus with use in a case that has any kind of top side fan and you will be able to run either 1366 i7s or AM3 cpus passive without a problem. Can push about 1.2v stressing with my 920 before I barely start reaching 80C and won't even cross 50C on my 955 BE with 1.4v on both core and cpu-nb both were tested with Intel Burn Test.

I would assume $20 would be easy to get for selling the 120mm if someone wanted to get some money back as using the 140mm in the middle is more then enough with only a few degrees improvement by using an additional fan.
 
They finally brought it down to the price of the Thermalright Silver Arrow.
