Good i5-760 cpu cooler for ~$20?

[ms5555]

Can you get a good cpu cooler for an i5 760 for $20 or less? The coolermaster hyper 212 looks pretty good but with shiping off newegg it's closer to $40.

My goal is to modestly overclock an i5 760. Somewhere between 3.5 and 3.8ghz is my target. I have no idea what sort of cooling solution I'll need.

Other hardware, I'm using a ASUS P7P55 mobo, 4gigs of ram (2x2gb) and a gtx 460 card in an antec 300 illusion case.

I was wondering if these coolers would suit my needs

The first cooler that you posted is no better than the stock cooler.

The second and third cooler that you posted are suited for dual core CPU's, if you want a decent cooler for your 760 you will need to spend a bit more than 20.00$.

38.00$ shipped for the 212+ is still a great buy since it is among the best air coolers for the price.

The Scythe SCMG-2100 is also a great cooler for the price =)

Since you seem to be able to buy stuff from Microcenter (assuming you live close by) you should probably spend ~$25 (with taxes,etc) on the Hyper 212+.

I doubt this matches the hyper 212+ but it is close to your budget.
