Question Good low profile cooler?

[sirstinky]

Hi all. I'm looking for a low profile CPU cooler. It needs to be able to dissipate 100-125W and can't be over 40mm high. I also don't want to spend over $25 for it. Ther are lots of surplus Intel stock coolers meant for high end Core2Quads that were 95W and also for Pentium 4 and Pentium D over 100W tdp. Noise isn't an issue here, but I'd rather it not be obnoxiously loud.

Thanks

Also why is the Core2Quad running so high? What case are you using? Watercooling?

What case will you be using?
40mm is very small and I suspect you may have difficulty getting sufficient airflow to any cooler.
This might be one situation where I might recommend a liquid cooler.

I actually looked at both of those and they were two choices but were on the expensive side around $30. I forgot to mention that size is an issue because this is going into a large flashlight body that was one of those big ones with H3 type car headlight in it.

I'm coverting it to run a 130W COB LED that needs good cooling comparable to a Pentium 4 or D Extreme, i7-9x0, Core2Quad or Extreme CPU. The majority of the Core2Quad were 95W tdp. I could use a 95W cooler and run the fan fast if needed. There are Intel stock coolers I can get for around $10 designed around those CPUs that fit inside, but the height is an issue even though I an replacing the stock fan.

Wow thanks for that comparison chart. It's going into a large spotlight flashlight body to cool the led conversion I'm doing. The led runs around 130W flat out. Water cooling would be freaking awesome if I could get a setup to fit, but an air cooler is the most feasible option. I could get a 60mm air cooler in, but that's not leaving much room for the battery and driver electronics.
