CPU cooler with limited space

So I'm thinking of building a mATX gaming build and I just want to know what cooler that'll fit in a Core 1000, it only has 135mm of clearance which is a PINTA
 
I'm building an HTPC in a Core 1000 soon as well so this is interesting. What kind of processor will you be using? I have one of those funky Asrock S939 boards with 790GX chipset and had an unused stock AM3 cooler. But if it turns out too loud then a replacement will be in order. I'm kinda leaning towards an Arctic Freezer 13 with a 92mm fan. It is supposed to be 130mm tall.
 
i'm running one of these puppies. Overpriced, but one of the best short hsf around. 114mm

Edit: C14 is more powerful with 2 fans. But c12 is a classic & good clearance (both for ram & from side panel).

Cooler Master GeminII S524

It's really quiet but doens't perform quite as well as a Hyper 212+. Still, it's a reasonable trade off for the size and the fact that it cools the motherboard as well.
