As the title says I want to upgrade my current heatsink to a new one capable of nice overclocks.

At the moment I have a Artic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro, this barley fits in my case tho, it just fits over the North Bridge and Presses down on the 4 pin Connector.

I have a GA-965P-DS3 and a Cooler Master ATC-410-SX1 Case.

My Buget is about £30, Any advice would be welcomed.

I may post a pic of my current setup later.

EDIT: I am thinking of getting a Tuniq Tower 120 CPU Cooler but I am unsure whether this will fit. Anyone have any experience with this cooler and a DS3 or a size comparison with AC7.

Shouldn't be a problem fitting it on the mobo but I don't know if the case is big enough. The Tower is huge compared with the ACF7P. Its dimensions are on the Tuniq web site.

This new Thermalright cooler has got some promising reviews, all but matching the TT120. And it's smaller.

I just ordered one for my Q6600. You will need a fan. 92mm/120mm.

Bear in mind the 120mm fan makes the sink slightly taller.

Wow that looks like it would do the trick! Thanks :)
