CPU cooler - either of these worth getting

[Bellboy]

Hi,

Looking at overclocking an opteron chip, and I currently have a Vapochill Micro Extreme Performance:

However I was half considering getting a Swifttech cooler a la this one:

with a nice ultra quiet silenx fan on it, all of which I can pick up for just about £20 (2nd hand).

Or another option is the Thermaltake Big Typhoon, again for £20:

I haven't had a chance to test the vapochill yet but don't wanna miss out on the Swifttech or Thermaltake if either is far better cooler, as I am gonna be looking at doing some reasonable overclocking. So will the Vapochill suffice or is it not really an overclockers cpu cooler? Are either of the others worth the extra 20 quid? Or am I totally getting the wrong end of the stick and is the Vapochill even better than the other two?

The spec for the comp is:

Opty 144
Asrock Dual SATA2 939 mobo
1gb OCZ EL DDR 3500 ram
HIS ICEII Turbo x800xl

Cheers!

go for the thermaltake one, either that or the arctic cooler freezer 64 which should be ok for your single core up to 3ghz

Cheers ... so there will be a noticeable difference above the vapochill? I ain't gonna be doing any extreme overclocking (my first attempt at it, and I am selling the hopefully working result to my brother) ... is the Vapochill actually any good or is it not much better than a stock cooler?
