Anybody have a Thermaltake CLP0550?

I really can't stand this cpu fan anymore. It is the stock cooler for an i3-530 and it has this annoying buzzing sound. It has the sound when constant speed and it gets more annoying when it speeds up. Nothing is hitting the blades so that is not the issue. Only problem is I have an In-win BK623 case that is small and utilizes the cpu fan for system cooling. Can someone recommend a similar cooler style that is quiet and not too large? I will also consider tossing the Cooling Partition Plate if necessary. I'm ok with whooshing type fan noise, but this buzzing is annoying.

Give the Scythe Shuriken or Big Shuriken a try. I think the first PCi-E slot is far away enough for there not to be a problem and allow use of a video card there.
 
Still looking for a cooler, and have done all measurements, and I have 70mm max from top of CPU to bottom of optical drive. Anybody have the Thermaltake CLP0550? Link: http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/Product.aspx?C=1417&ID=1923.

How loud is it and what kind of sound does it produce?

This will barely fit my needs in terms of size, or I may just get the Silverstone 37mm cooler, it's a shame that it is 9mm lower than stock Intel cooler but it has a copper core.
 
Not familiar with that one and can't even find any reviews of it.

Doesn't look like it's much more than the stock Intel cooler though.
Does the stock cooler keep things cool enough? If so, this one MAY do the trick.
