Cheap and effective CPU cooler?

[jammydodger06]

I'm having trouble looking for a decent, but affordable cooler. Could anyone suggest one under £30? Thank you

Coolermaster hyper 212+, best cooler around for the money.

Thanks. My only worry is fitting it in my coolermaster 310..

I think its 159mm tall. It fits most mid towers ok as long as there isn't a side fan.

Fan is removable, and according to this guy http://www.overclock.net/air-cooling/741845-cooler-master-elite-310-hyper-212-a.html
you may need to remove it to fit the 212, no big problem though,

Note that on a motherboard with 4 memory slots, you may loose the use of the one closest to cpu.
