Medium/Low profile AMD CPU cooler

[mantylt]

Looking for cooler as a birthday present for my friend. This is his current setup http://pcpartpicker.com/p/gzqnhM. Problem is that he's using really old and narrow case and I don't know exact dimensions. I am looking for something like 212 Evo, but at least 2-3cm smaller, because I know 212 doesn't fit. Any suggestions?

Take a look at thermaltake macho 120mm http://www.thermalright.de/kuehler/1/macho-120-rev.-a

 

10cm smaller

 

However, since you said its narrow, i am not sure even 10cm is enough. Evo is really big.

 

Thermalight spirit 90m is 125mm tall.

What about this cooler? http://pcpartpicker.com/part/noctua-cpu-cooler-nhl9a, it's very low profile and quiet

Is Noctua an option?

Oh, that's going to be brilliant... Happy birthday mate, I'm giving you something that is almost universally agreed on to be very ugly!

I decided to go with http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-cpu-cooler-rrgmm416pkr2, because it's cheap, it will fit in any case and it received most positive reviews on amazon between low profile coolers thanks for help, guys
