    I’ll just keep posting my findings here for anyone looking into the same thing, which is low profile i3/i5 heatsinks.

    I just found out that Silverstone has made an LGA1156 version of the Nitrogon NT07-775. This is a 36mm HSF apparently able to keep up with the i3/i5 CPUs.

    And a brief review: http://www.techpowerup.com/126500/SilverStone_Intros_Nitrogon_NT07-1156_CPU_Cooler.html

    This should fit the bill for the Chenbro case.

    [quote]The manufacturer’s page says this one is 47mm tall:

    Thanks, the COOLER MASTER DP6-9EDSA-0L-GP is also a good option. However, if Silverstone is right when they say the 35mm HSF is very efficient and compares to bigger ones, I’d prefer to pay the premium and go for Silverstone and have more room (airflow) above the HSF.
