The Spire/Fanner/Speeze Whisper Rock II (5F263B1M3G) is probably cheaper ($12 shipped, newegg) while equally as quiet and effective. See my review in the "User Review" section of TechIMO and the buyer reviews on newegg (more and better than any other HSF they sell).

If your looking for a hsf on a budget then something like this should suffice which has a variable fan.

Thermaltake Volcano 9 Socket 462 Cooler


This high performance cooler is the sequel to the Volcano 7 and flows up to a whopping 75.7CFM of air. Thankfully, thermaltake has given us control over the fan speed. You can set it to full speed, allow the fan to adjust its speed based on the supplied temperature probe, or use a supplied variable resistor to manually set the speed anywhere from 1300 to 4800 RPM for 20.55 to 75.7 CFM at 17 to 48dBA. The cooler supports speeds up to XP2600+. The combination of such high airflow capability and a well designed aluminum heatsink with copper base makes this cooler one of the best buys on the market.
