http://www.silentpcreview.com/Noctua_NH-C14_CPU_Cooler -- with one fan mounted beneath the fins, height is 105mm. There are probably other down-blowing fan coolers which will fit, but this one is tops, you might be fine w/o a fan directly on it as there are 2 other case fans near the CPU area.

Hi, at the low end we have Arctic Cooling Alpine 64 Pro (£8) that is simple aluminium heatsink that will be quiet at idle but probably not under load, especially overclocked.
Cooler Master Vortex Plus £18 might be a good choice, 4 direct-touch heat pipes and 92mm fan with 800~2800rpm range. If it's like the fan on the TX3 is not bad, but could be swapped for a better fan if needed.
Further up the price range you could look at Zalman CNPS8900 £33, no idea how this performs but you'd definitly want the "quiet" model not the extreme, even then 1000rpm min fan speed not really low enough...
For £37 you could have Nexus LOW 7000 that ought to be good, 4 heatpipes to 120mm fan from Nexus...
At £38 you have Scythe Big Shuriken a known good performer with a good fan. You could swap the fan for a full 25mm thick one if need more cooling power too.
Hope helps, Seb
