Good cooler for AM3 that won't break the bank?

Hi,

I am wanting to get a cooler for an AM3 cpu, now I really don't want to spend more than £30 on it. What is the best at this price point? Is the Arctic Cooling Freezer Xtreme any good?

Will most probably be an X2 550BE.

Also that Zalman doesn't state it will fit AM3?

Going for the Xigmatek HDT-S1283, comes in at £28 and the reviews seem very good.

How do you mean?

There are too many.

Thanks for the various suggestions though!

Big.Wayne,

Does that cooler come with anything to mount a fan with?
