So I need to get a new heatsink for my current CPU: Core 2 Duo 2.4ghz.

I dont want a HUGE heatsink and fan at all.
I would like something that is easy to install, does a decent job cooling and is pretty quiet.

I currently have a huge freaking heatsink on my CPU that is good, but since I am going to replace my mobo, I am going to be getting rid of it (long story). With that, looking for a decent fan, easy to install and pretty quiet.

Just looking at newegg, found this:

and this

Any thoughts?
I am open to other suggestions as well.
Thanks,

TCG

I was going to suggest the Dark Knight until you said you didn't want a huge cooler.

With the two you suggest there, I would spend a little more and go with the Zalman, I've had them in the past and it cooled very well and was very quiet.
