they dont come much cheaper than this, curently using one on an e6600 @3.6ghz, idle temps of 28'c, 58'c @ full load

Definately the Freezer 7. Although a E2180 will go from 2 to 3Ghz on stock cooling. I cant fully remember the speeds and multi in a E2180, but under the F7 you may reach the limits of your other components before you reach CPU heat limits.

My F7 has taken my 2.1Ghz E6400 to 3.2Ghz at 38 idle, 50 load. Definatley worth every penny!

As good as the AC and half the price

Much better than the freezer 7 (check the reviews). I liked it so much, I bought one!

At £8.21, my vote too - and I have one

I can only vouch for the F7, but it uses the intel push clip thingys, so as long as you dont press to hard and snap your mobo, its a sinch.
