I know everyone will reccomend the xigmatek dark knight and I am going to get that one. Eventually... but I just was in my local best buy and was just wondering how good this worked

Best buy probably raised the price a good $15 of what it should be sold for. So basically you'd be buying a $15 CPU cooler. It would not do anything. The Xigmatek would eat that baby alive. Basically, what you have linked is just you stock heatsink with a better fan.

Well you can also get these for around the same price. That cooler in the picture, I highly doubt will perform on par with the other well known ones like the Xiggy, TRUE, and the Noctua.

If you want best performance, go with the Noctua NH-U12P, TRUE, and/or Cooler Master V8.

Those are all $40 or below.

I'd take the Xigmatek over that cooler any day.

I like the dark knight from xigmatek. I was just wondering what you guys/gals thought on that. It reminds me of the time walmart charged about 220 dollars for an intel celeron D

See now that, is a complete and total ripoff. Damn these stores and their high markups.
