compatible heatsink A10-7700k HTPC

[master_nz]

Just build a HTPC and found the water cooler doesn't fit in case, cooler master 120v. The radiator and fan are to thick and don't fit in the space between case and motherboard. Current using the stock heatsink, which temps seem good but to loud even on min.

The heatsink needs to fit in the Grandia GD08 with CPU limit of 135 mm used to cool amd a10-7700k 95w TDP. The motherboard is micro ATX. Would prefer air cooler this time.

You might like one of the older Zalman "flower-style" coolers. Their performance has long been surpassed, but for your needs they're a lot better than stock, and quiet.

That cpu is FM2+ socket. So the cooler needs to be compatible with it. This air cooler - http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=207_23&products_id=22829 fits all Intel and AMD sockets. Its 158mm high. Will that also fit your case?
This Noctua one http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=207_23&products_id=19797 is only 66 mm high and also 'universal'. Will it fit?

Noctua especially have good fans..

138 mm is the height limit of cooler. The nh-l12 is looking promising.

Been browsing the Noctua range of coolers and think of getting NH-U9B SE2http://www.computerlounge.co.nz/components/componentview.asp?r=p&partid=14092
It's compatible with motherboard according to there list. Seems to have good reviews, be cheap and quiet.
