What's a top-down CPU cooler ? I don't know.

 

Something like this ---> http://www.hardware.fr/medias/photos_news/00/44/IMG0044481_1.jpg

 

I think that is what they are called but I'm not sure

no one calls a water cooler a low profile cooler. Low profile is an air cooler by rule of thumb.

watercooling is more low profile than any other air cooler because all it is is a waterblock with 2 tubes

1 inch high

show me a 1 inch high air cooler

Yeah but noone calls a watercooler a low profile cooler. You call a low profile air cooler a low profile cooler and you call a watercooler a watercooler.
