Default Recommended CPU cooler for E6600

Hey guys, just thinking which cooler would you recommend for an E6600 maybe for some OCind upto 3.6GHz (possibly more), not too expensive though, i think £30-£40 would be the most I would pay. Thanks

Either one will do you fine. I chose the Thermalright based on many reviews and user experience that rated it far and above the Tuniq, though in actuality it probably isn't leaps and bounds better, but it does keep my E6600 around 56C under load @ 3.6GHz (1.42v vCore).

I like the Zalman 9700, however I wish I would have used the Tuniq Tower 120 after reading the reviews.
