What are some of the better models of air driven heatsinks are out there ($50 or under)?
These are the ones I know about and what I've figured out so far:
CM 212 EVO - don't really like the DCHP, but it's better than the 212 Plus
Thermaltakes True Spirit 140 - from what I've read it's better than the 212, but hard to find
Scythe Mugen 3 - Interested in this one
Scythe Ninja 3 - Quieter but not as efficient
Corsair H70 - not as efficient and more problematic
Zalman's 9*00 - very nice looking but no longer as effective as the ones already mentioned.
HC-02 Macho
A70 - also has the DCHP issue like the 212+
Sorry Noctua and Phanteks are out of my price range
