I have just finished building my HTPC with the following parts

Silverstone ML07

Silverstone sfx 450w gold rated psu

intel G3258

4gb kingston ram 

2tb hdd

gigabyte b85 pheniox motherboard

asus gtx 670 4gb

SSD and fans on the way

 

I have been getting a bit annoyed with the intel cooler and and looking for some recomendations for cooler under 80mm high. So far I have found the Coolermaster gemin2 and the Scythe Shuriken Big 2 Rev b.

What sort of experience have people have with these?

Thanks

I live in New Zealand and was hoping not to spend over $100 on a cooler for a $100 CPU

thanks for the suggestion. Just seems a bit pricey for what you get, but it is noctua so it should do a good job

the coolermaster gemin II M4 is a good option for a cooler to fit slim casings
