Which of these CPU coolers should I choose?

Hey all.

I'm wondering which one of these will give me the most cooling. I don't really care for noise, as long as it isn't too high.

Alpine 11 Pro:

Alpine 11 Plus:

Freezer 11 LP:

Which one of these would you recommend and is sufficient in cooling the i5 2500?

Thanks.

If your not going to OC get the Freezer 11 LP. If you are going to OC then get the ALpine 11; either one will do.

that is better then the AC's you listed, it costs a bit more more, but its worth it.

If you can spend a bit more..

That is probably the best low profile heat sink i can think of with 6 heat pipes.
Should also help you incase you decide to overclock.
