Budget Socket 939 CPU heatsink fan

I am on a limited budget and am thinking of upgrading to this mobo/cpu combo from newegg.

http://www.newegg.com/product/...p?item=N82E16813138269

The CPU is OEM and I am looking for a heatsink/fan to go with it. Plan to do some mild overclocking.

Looking at the heatsink/fans on newegg and I just dont see how any of them would attach to the motherboard. My last experience building a rig was with Abit NF7-s and AMD Mobile 2400. The heatsink just clipped onto the sides of the CPU socket. This motherboard has a plastic square around it, I dont see anyway to attach to the actual CPU socket.

I have been looking at these two heatsink/fans

Would these work with the above motherboard? If not could someone recommend one?

Thanks.

 
I second the Freezer 64 Pro.

Also, try to find the TForce-6100 by Biostar if you need one with onboard video and mATX. You'll be thankful you did when you start overclocking.
 
Ok i will go with the freezer 64 pro. It will just clip directly to the CPU socket itself? I dont see any tabs on the CPU socket on that mobo.

So they attach to the plastic square around the socket as opposed to the socket itself?

Did you live out in the woods for the past two years? 😛 Yes, they do attach to the plastic mounting bracket around the socket.
