Really cheap XP 1600 HSF?

[CoioL]

I'm getting the OEM version of the XP 1600, so it doesn't come with an HSF. What's a cheap HSF, about equal to the one in the retail box, and one that can be installed and removed fairly easily? (preferably one selling on newegg) I'll use the EPoX 8KHA+ mobo, if that matters...

Thanks

Why don't you buy the retail XP 1600+?
the price difference of retail XP 1600+ and oem is just about $15.
A cheap HSF under $15 kind could be even worse than the stock HSF.

If you really want to buy oem cpu and cheap HSF,
Coolermaster, Thermaltake have some ok models for under $15.

another benefit of the retail box is the 3 year warranty.

If you don't mind the slight difficulty in installation/uninstallation, the Thermaltake Volcano II is a great HSF for $8 + shipping @ Newegg.

Get the SVC Golden Gate. It'll run you about $21 delivered and it works great!
