Budget Compact CPU Cooler for i5 2400?

[slovenlyjimmy]

Hi,

I'm looking for a compact and quiet tower cooler to fit my Zalman T2 Micro ATX case. (150mm max height)

Need to keep the cost down as well as I just overspent my CPU budget on a i5 2400 (was supposed to be getting a Dual core Pentium! Oops )

Had looked at the Zalman CNPS5X Compact cooler, but can't find any reviews anywhere. I've also heard good things about the Arctic Cooling Freezer 13' but really need to keep to under £20 if possible.

Any ideas would be gratefully received.

Thanks

Have you looked at Zalmon quantum thing, I can't remember where I saw it but if you google Zalman Quantum I'm sure you'll find it.

I personally use the Noctua NH-L12 with just the 120mm fan in my home server and love it.

Thanks for all, the advice guys.

In the end I went for an Arctic Freezer Pro 7, size limitations ended up being the main factor in the choice. However I'm very happy with the cooler, it's running near silent and my i5 is sitting at an average 29 degrees at idle.
