how much is 30 quid? I reckon you get a zalman with copper, like what I have, but its not installed due to my stupidity! Cheers, Gunny (The zalman I bought was 50 USD with shipping)

Go with the Zalman CNPS-9500 or 9700. The 9700 is only a tad better than the 9500, but unless your clocking to 4Ghz its not needed.

Yup.

3700+ San Diego @ 2.8Ghz here (280x10).

Stock voltage (1.4v) and stock heatsink and fan ;)

Hits 48C tops full load.
