They to told me that SilverStone and akasa offered "flat coolers for amd cpu's" they did not mention a specific model

The might be referring to the Silverstone NT07-AM2. That however is 9mm taller than the Gelid AM2 cooler. The akasa is 29mm, 1mm taller than the Gelid.

Hi, no I'm sorry I use a right sided samsung SN-T083A Slot-in slim DVD drive cause the second version of Wesena ITX7 had a right sided eject button. I found them very fragile and had to disassemble mine once to remove a DVD stucked inside.

Thanks, I already found an affordable DVD writer by Sony.

SilverStone Technologys Nitrogon NT07-1156 was suggested when I asked if they could recommend a certain model. This is the Intel Version of the NT07 obiously.
Which brand is the most silent?

what kind of temperatures are you guys getting? i have the same case with a core i3 2125 and using the stock cooler and my temperatures at idle are around 44 and playing a 1080p movie its around 50 to 55.

I also had to bend the 3.5 hdd case to fit the stock cooler. Also use a NAS for file storagea and have a SSD to boot from. The other big heat item in the case is a passive cooled AMD hd 6540 graphics card.

Unless I am misunderstanding your posts, I find it strange they say the Gelid won't fit but recommend the Silverstone, yet the Silverstone is 9mm taller than the Gelid.

I do not know who is answering their customer support emails but he sure just did not look into the coolers which I asked him would fit. Anyway, the Gelid Slim Silence i-Plus seems like the best option and I will order it. Thank you for the link!

Yeah, bizarre. I like the Gelid. I have it in my HT80 HTPC build. You're welcome.

@sauc1er & kokoro
I have very similar hardware like you - ASRock A75M-ITX + two memory chips + Scythe Kozuti.
Did you manage to install it together?
In my case this cooler is to wide and overlap one of memory chips (this closer to cpu)!
No way to install it with two memory chips ;-(

Sad to hear that. But this is why I am going to but the Gelid cooler. Why don't you just get a new cooler and dump the kozuti?
