I wanted to buy a good CPU Cooler (Heatsink & fan) for AMD Phenom II, which has attachment (clip?) that does not require me to remove the MB , from my case, to fix it.

Does anyone know of the make/model and price. Prefer something that is short in height (less than 5-6 cms) and as less weight, since I will be fixing it on the MB that's vertical positioned.

Thanks.

There are lots of cooler with Push pin or clip design ..

To name a few are Sunbeam CCF and OCZ vendatta...

The former requires a lot of force to be installed and if for some reason teh NB HSF and CPU braket are close you are done with it :p which is mostly seen in AMD based board.

I would suggest you to get TRUE OR Ultima 90..
