so this is the CPU heatsink i was planning on getting, I previously had a thermaltake Big Typhoon (the older version) with an upgraded fan. it ran my old E6300 at 3GHz. the temp was 25*C idle (when in my Antec 900) and 45*C max load. I plan on getting an E8400 and OC it to (at least) 4GHz. My main question is, could there be a better heatsink for the money than the one i linked? I said what i did about my old heatsink because i want to know which is better by comparison. the upgraded fan was a 120mm and ran at about 40-50 CFM.

The Xigmatek is much better.

Yeah, it's insanely good for how cheap it is. Beats everything on the market but the Sunbeam Core Contact (more expensive), and the Ultra one which is Peltier and therefore a lot more expensive.
Just make sure to spread the thermalpaste on the heatpipes rather than in between when you mount it, and get this to make life a lot easier
