Socket 1366 cooler for $30?

[xXDracoXx]

I have a Core i7 920 with the stock cooler and I want to do a modest OC around 3.4-3.5Ghz (no voltage change).

I'm looking for a relatively cheap cooler ($30-ish) to do the job. A friend of mine recommended this:

I don't want to pay for looks (no side window ) and would prefer it being no louder than the stock Intel one if possible.

CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Plus would be your best bet for 30bucks. They have them in microcenter for $25 atm. I've seen benchmarks of the Coolermaster hyper 212 plus it can compete with some of the big highend coolers.

here's a video of a the coolermaster hyper 212 plus.

One of the few things that's cheaper on Amazon than The Egg:

$28.15 today with free shipping.

You will not get the extra fan shown in the picture.

Thanks for all the replies. I looked into the Hyper 212+ and it seems to be very praised.

I also came across this similar cooler:

It seems to be much quieter than Hyper 212+ and in the same price range. Is anyone familiar with it?
