That's it. I don't care about performance, I can't overclock because of the motherboard so the cheapest cooler will make me happy
Thermaltake MaxOrb or Blue Orb II. They rock socks. My max orb keeps my processor nice and cool.

I love the looks of the MaxOrb or Blue Orb but I think I might end up getting the Zalman because it's the cheapest...any other suggestions?

The Blue Orb is a pretty good cooler.
