For an old Core2 I'd go with something like this. I used the version 1 for my Core2 E6400 way back and it worked great. It clips into the mount holes from the front so you don't mess with a backplate. It's pretty cheap on Newegg. Probably overkill for stock speeds, but you can always look at the cheaper standard style AC coolers. They always work great. If you have a slim style case you may want to look at the smaller coolers.
