$30 - Hyper 212 EVO (w/ two fans - 65C)
$50 - Hyper 612 PWM \ Mugen 3 or 4 (both getting scarce) but good for 5-7C over 212
$75 - Phanteks PH-TC14PE (50.75C) , Thermalright SIlver Arrow (51.00C), Noctua DH-14 (51.25C)

Of the 3 in the highest budget tier, the "thermal ranking is in the order listed above in most tests Temperature delta at 4GHz in parenthesis), the Arrow "sounds" the quietest tho all have same dB ratings, and the Phanteks has a 5 year warranty, Arrow 2 years and Noc 1 year

I agree with markwp. If you want cheaper, I'm running my IB under a Xigmatek Gaia; $20 when I bought it (and up until this past weekend), it is now back up to $30. It cools within 1C and is 6db quieter than the $35 CM Hyper212 EVO per Frostytech reviews.

Are they low profile? If so, they should fit with pretty much all coolers, to my understanding.
