well, i think i might hate this board now... a pain in the *** finding a cooler
bought a ANTEC 620 water cooler last night, ran if for few hours and the pump noise drove me mad, not loud but somehow just annoying
i have located a AXP140 but as it turns out its too tall for the elite 120
need to keep the cooler under 76mm
have the "list" of coolers that fit

so what to buy?
Noctua NH-L12 - fits the board but blocks the pcie, but i found out you can bend it a little and it will free the pcie
Praeton LD964 - looks nice, cheap, but i have to order it from UK and ship it here. there reviews for him are "so~so" and i'll have to get a normal 92mm fan to make it work
Zalman SZ CC92HS - cheap alu cooler, will fit 100% and be more silent then the intel stock i use right now, but being "unknown" cooler makes me worry, also don't know it the alu cooler can work well with my 3570K (yes yes... i know)
Scythe Shuriken Rev. B - looks good, small, but i don't know that it will fit 100%... can't find someone that used it to be sure
Noctua NH-L9i - i think "how low can you go" was made for this cooler, low as hell but expensive, don't think its a good option
Scythe Big Shuriken 2 Rev.B - any chance it will fit?
any other good options?
