Will be overclocking a Phenom II 955

From what I understand, the cooler's total height can't be more than 150mm with the side fan in the Azza Solano

I know there's a mod to put the fan on the outside, but I really don't want to do it personally.

The only good contenders I've found so far are the Zalman CNPS9700 LED, the Scythe SCSMZ-2000, and the Cooler Master GeminII S

I just want the highest CFMs that will fit in the case for under $60
 
I would recommend a Thermalright AXP140 with a good fan. They are hard to find, but there is a listing for them on Amazon.com right here. With a 140 X 25 mm fan, you are looking at an installed height of around 100 mm. You also might need to get an AM2/AM3 adapter for it too. Not cheap, but it gives good cooling.
 
the zalman will do great cooling at really low noise, just be forewarned, you can't change the fan.
