Recommendation for a good heatsink?

[winterwolf1223]

Hey guys my new computer with I7-960 3.2ghz keeps running pass 90C and the computer auto turns off. I've been using the stock heatsink because the weather was cool. Now that its getting warm I need to get an after market heatsink. Any recommendations for a good heatsink? I dont need anything too fancy n pretty. I just want something cheap but effective. Something around 20-50$.

If your not going for super high OC's , this will serve you well.

I have a i7-860 (no OC) and I'm using the Hyper 212 Plus, one of red1776's suggestions. Works very well. Idle temp w/ the stock fan was in the low 30's, high 70's to low 80's @ 100% CPU usage. Now, temp is almost 10 deg C lower. Ambient temp 22-24 C.

I bought a Noctua NH-U9B-SE2, which was the smallest, cheapest Noctua heatsink I could find at my IT shop and it was still good for a ~20 C difference when compared to my stock Intel heatsink. Just sayin', Noctua heatsinks work well, albeit at a slightly higher price.

If using www.newegg.com is possible, I'd immediately go for this:

COOLER MASTER V8 RR-UV8-XBU1-GP 120mm Rifle CPU Cooler $49.99 plus $2.99 shipping, after rebate

That'll be more than enough in pretty much all scenario's personally.

If you want cheap, the Cooler Master Hyper 212 is an excellent choice.
