Which CPU cooler for the Antec NSK2480 case?

[brainstorn]

Hey guys,

I want to try get the noise/heat down on my HTPC in preparation for adding a GTX750ti to do a bit of gaming on the side. All google searches for my NSK2480 point to the "Mini Ninja" as the perfect HFS choice, due to it being around 115mm high and having side mounted fans, which work well with the case having two fans on the side and only one small vent on top.

It seems the Mini Ninja is no longer being made and would be hard to get in New Zealand anyway. Can anyone advise of a similarly capable alternative?

All of my low profile options seem to revolve around upward facing fans... could someone with a better understanding of thermodynamics tell me if this is an issue?

Thanks

You can get one like this, because you don't post what MB you have. It will fit with the NSK2480 case, but you are better got to the company website to check it is compatible your MB or not. http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=productview&products_id=51
