I have a Barton 2500+ that overclocks to 3200+ easily but gets a bit hot so im interested in a new heatsink to get a bit more life out this system of mine. I have $50 AUD to spend on a heatsink and fan.
I want this to cool well, quietness is also needed but good cooling is higher priority. Im also planning to buy a 3.5gram tube of Arctic silver5 (thats not included in the $50)

A friend showed me this:

It seems quite good on paper: copper, lots of fins, 5500rpm ball bearing fan. So lets start from there and see what we get.

Also i was thinking of the Zalman CNPS7000B-Cu

Whats your opinions?

Thanks in advance

im worried about the zalman 7000b-cu running into my psu. on zalmans site it says that my mobo is fine for the heatsink as long as the psu doesnt get in the way.
