Which cpu cooler?

I've been looking at cpu coolers for a x4 955be and have come to the conclusion for under £20 these two seem to be the best value.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-029-CM

or the

Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev 2: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-035-AR

Which of these is better?

For a couple of quid extra I could get the Gelid Tranquillo http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-001-GD&tool=3

Is it worth it for the little bit extra?

Any advice would be great,

Thanks.

Gelid is definitely worth the extra dosh!

I would avoid the Arctic 7 pro 2 - my only experience with a non stock cooler and it is less than ideal - the cooling can be good but the mounting parts were poorly made and difficult to screw in, in my experience

Looks like the gelid is the better of those

The Hyper 212 Plus is £15 elsewhere if that changes your mind, but the Gelid is the best.

Gelid is recommended in CPC mag as well. Not that I used it or anything but I tend to read it.
