Help picking a good cpu cooler

[youngwolf0]

My CPU cooler has failed and I need a new one, thing is I have no idea what a good one is. I use my system for playing demanding games. I am willing to pay up to £70 on it but if I can get a good one for less then that's great, I also live in the UK.

My spec is as below:


Case: Cool Master Cosmos S
CPU: Intel E8400 Core 2 Duo 3.0GHZ
GPU: XFX 8800GT 512mb
PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower 700W
CPU Fan: AKASA AK925 REVO THERMODYNAMIC
Memory: Geil PC2 6400 2gb with heat sink X 2
Motherboard: ASUS p5n-d
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64


also I have a small pci soundblaster sound card and a pci usb card.

Any advice you guys can give would be great

I have the zerotherm cpu cooler. It mounts to the motherboard and keeps my quad core 2,8ghz to a cool 28c.

You don't need copper. They're heavy and it'll rip your motherboard in half.

That one looks not bad .

How do I know if my case has enough space and if my mobo can take the weight?

Just don't get a full copper heatsink. Aluminum is pretty light. i would say go by the fan dimensions and see if it fits. Probably will need to get a measuring tape to measure it out I guess.
