I'll post this here rather than the building thread, more appropriate.
I have this case, Silverstone GD05B and will need to use a low profile heatsink/fan. What's the opinion of Zalman CNPS8900? I couldn't find too much in the way of reviews for it. Zalman seems to make a reasonably good product...From what I understand, my heatsink needs to be somewhere in the 60 to 70mm range. I'll be using a 3570k, what do you kind folks recommend in that range?

Derp. I'm stupid and didn't even notice that in the building thread. The Silverstone might end up being too tall, the Scythe looks like my best bet. Thanks. I'm sure i'll be back with OC-ing ?'s once I get my rig built. In the meantime, I'll just keep reading the OP /

It would fit if I wasn't going to roll with an optical drive, according to the silverstone website, I'll have a max of 70mm. Prob gonna roll with the Scythe, cheaper and goon recommended works for me.
