i was planning on getting a new heatsink because the one that came with my i5 2500k is garbage and i narrowed my choices down to two

coolermaster hyper 212 EVO

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Thermaltake frio 120MM

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

i'm worried about the thermaltake frio because i heard reviews about it being cheaply made but if anybody has had experience with the two could you inform me on good they are ?

This one's a good deal for the money. Performs on par with the two you linked and is cheaper than either.
