Thats not a horrible one, but for the money I'd look for a CoolerMaster 212+ or 212 Evo (Both perform about the same but the Evo runs just a hair cooler). Both of them on msy say they're discontinued.. I don't believe they are, if necessary, I'd look at another merchant for em. I'd be recommending a CM 212+ or Evo even for a top of the line system with a $3000 budget. They're damn good CPU coolers for overclocking, and they're quiet.
