Hey guys, I have a micro atx case and board here (socket 775) but i absolutely hate the plastic clip mounting system on the stock coolers. I'm not sure how much room I have, i'll have to measure up, but i have about 1cm room above a fat stock cooler. What would you guys say is the best out there? 

 

p.s. It needs to be rated for at least 95W as well (Q8300)

 

Thank You in Advance

Would this fit : LINK ?
Instead of trying to sqeeze better cooler, try lowering Vcore (IDK what MB you have tho, many OEM boards doesn't have the option of Vcore control).

The nexus low 7000 is like 25$ on amazon and is running my 6700K at 4.7ghz, and it has a decent mounting system, no plastic in the whole cooler other than the fan. It can fit 775, 1366, and 115x, as well as AMD's mount.

 

Its 7CM tall.

It's the biostar g41d3c

 

edit: It's not really a better cooler that i'm after, I just want one that is much simpler to mount than the intel stock coolers

Your MB doesn't have Vcore control :(

Since you say you don't need better cooler... you can always rip plastic push-pins and use bolts proper with washers and nuts :)

PS. Personally I don't see anything complicated with Intel mounting system (watch arrow and always check if white parts of latches pins went on the other side of PCB).
It's fragile and simple.

Sounds like something Linus would Do, but I have to be honest, I was thinking of using zip ties....

Zip ties - Sounds like a plan to me.
At least they are cheaper than another cooler ;)
