Does anyone know if there is any cooler for AMD AM2 cpu with total height less than 31mm? I know Silverstone has a cooler NT07 but that is only for Intel Socket 478/479. Any suggestion? Thanks

ermm maybe thermaltake ruby orb or blue orb ?

wait are sure 31mm>?

i think u mean 31cm? lol

Even stock heatsink isn't as short as 31mm and they fit into most or maybe all cases unless modded.

Find some 1U heatsinks at 2nd hand shops at LYP.
That'll do it.

well 1u HSFs cannot discipate heat well.
and ud probably have to mod em.
might as well take your stock hsf and saw it down because if u were to make ur own retention module, its contact might not be as good
just my 2 cents

but NT07 isnt 31mm in the 1st place anyway

but if TS want to look for short sinks, look for old batch thermalright coolers, ie si and xp series

what about ruby/blue orb performance??
does its look match its performance??

i've handled many 1U HSF before, that's because i installed many 1U servers.

in 1U servers, they don't use fan. they use blowers. low profile but damn loud.

i still have a copper heatsink that's a little taller than 1U HSF. it was from AVC.

Yup, do a potong with your stock heatsink. AM2 procs don't put out much heat unless you're overclocking them hard, should not be a problem keeping it within safe temps.
