I'm going with a white and red theme build, and I'm having issues finding a CPU cooler that I'm happy with. Here's a couple CPU coolers that I found that I like the look of (since I'm going to be looking inside my case through a panel on the side, I don't want to see that ugly metal on the cooler.)

Ideally we try and keep it to $50 or less, a little over is OK. I might be overclocking at some point in time, mostly want to keep the CPU cool.

Cooler #1

Cooler #2

I like cooler #2 the best, but the price and how massive it is are major downfalls. Here's what I'm getting for my computer, just so you have an idea of what I'm looking for.

Unmatched Compatibility
Zero RAM Interference


Focusing on providing the widest range of
compatibility, the H7 utilizes an asymmetric slanted
heatpipe layout to move the heatsink away from the
RAM zone, Offering optimal compatibility for RAM
with tall heat spreaders on both Intel 115X and
AMD platforms.
