Default CPU Heatsink

I plan on buying an E8400/8500 and a Cooler Master RC-690-KKN1-GP (both from newegg) and wanted a different heat sink than stock. I have always just used stock and don't know too much, except that a lot of them are really big.

What would be the best heatsink for that processor that would also fit in that case??

I was hoping to spend only like $30 at most on one. But if there isn't a good one than I will go up.

Sweet, thanks Cohen. And MBGraphics, i do like that one, but i'm not a fan of MIR's, I have had bad experiences and don't really trust them. But thanks for the help

Don't know if that will interfere with either one of these MOBO's:


Biostar TPower I45 P45

Biostar TForce TP43D2A7 P43


Not sure which MOBO i'm getting yet, it depends on which one I have the money for when it comes to that point. But those are my choices.

Havnt heard of it, and it looks like the stock CPU cooler would be as good as if not better.

I'd say get this,

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835186134

especially with free shipping. The Zalman 7500 is a very old model, doesn't even have heat pipes. If you want an orb like cooler, look into the newer 8700 line.
