Default Best Affordable Heatsink?
Here are some I've looked at, I want to get other's opinions here at OCN.

- Scythe Mugen II
- Sunbeam Core Contact Freezer
- Cogage TRUE Spirit
- OCZ Vendetta 2
- Xigmatech Dark Knight
- Thermolab Baram

Which of these do you think is best?

Any other suggestions for a good heatsink under $40?

Please rate according to the heatsink only, not the fan it comes with.

Agree! But it's a high-end HS. Looking for under $40 suggestions.

Heatsink Factory has Xiggy for $39.99.

I've seen the Baram on sale for $39.99 before.
