Heatsink advice?

[Araemo]

Researching heatsinks is a pain.. I've done some, and I thought about going with a Corsair H60/H80 or the antec kuhler h2o 920/620.. but the combination of leaks or pump problems has me worried, at least with a fan I can visually check it when I set everything up and know it's working to begin with.

That said, I'm looking to build a 2500K system, I don't want one of the huge tower heatsinks that makes me fear for my motherboard, but I want something that will give a decent overclock, without being much louder than stock intel - is there anything out there for me?

I saw some on frostytech reviews.. but they don't seem to be available anymore.

For example: http://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=2629&page=5
Seems decent.. only a little louder than I'd like.. but I can't seem to find anywhere to BUY it.

There's also this zalman:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118091 / http://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=2617&page=5
Somewhat expensive, but has anyone used that to get good overclocks on a Core i5?

I'm also definitely open to other suggestions.. been a while since I've followed overclocking closely, but I have the spare money to do this i5 right, so I want to.

Spire Thermax II and Coolermaster Hyper 212+ are two solid performers for their weight class. They won't be able to handle extreme overclocking though, for that you either need heavy almost a kilogram towers or water pump solutions.

My Hyper 212+ in Push Pull does fine keeping my 1090T @ 3.8GHz cool, and that's with several video cards bitmining in the same case.

The hyper 212+ looks like it may work - it's a bit hotter at the same noise than the Zalman.. but half the price. Thanks for the advice.. if anyone else has more ideas, I'll keep checking them out, I'll be ordering stuff in about a week.
