Big Shuriken, Xigmatech Loki or other <135mm to cool X6 1090T ?

[expatCanuck]

Greetings -
Looking for a cooler 135mm or shorter (i.e. - fits in an LC17 / LC13E) to cool an X6 1090T.
My regular Rev. B Shuriken isn't quite up to the task under load (it was previously cooling an X2 Regor 250).
Candidates include Xigmatech Loki & Big Shuriken.
Thoughts?

The Big Shuriken is 58mm tall and I have one cooling my Core 2 Duo E7500(which is overclocked to 3.84GHz currently). Only seen my cpu go up to 65-70C with the overclock. You could get the Loki but I think it's too tall being that it's 134mm tall and that's way to close to your height limit(Same thing with my Big Shuriken, I had to dent my case in the garage to get it to fit).

Though you could get this heatsink. It will fit under that height limit and looks like a good air cooler for it's price. I also read it's pretty good for what cpu you are going to use and even with overclocking.

Timing is everything -- I ordered the GeminII S yesterday.

Huh. Let me know how it performs. I've been interested in how this heatsink works with a hot CPU.
