New cpu cooler

Hi everyone.

I'm considering buying a new cpu cooler so I can overclock my i5. I really don't have any idea which one to buy, can you give me suggestions. I don't want to spend more than 40€.

Thanks in advance for your help

The store where I'm going to buy doesn't have that one.
Here's the list of the available coolers. Which one do you guys recomend?

Thanks

GlobalData this is a good one, if you can find a mounting bracket for it.

I looked but I don't see any good ones that support the i5 or LGA1156 socket. There are a few good one listed but you'll need a LGA 1156 retention bracket for them, which they do make, but not yet available at your store.

I would buy one of these, in the order listed, but you'll still need to wait for the retention brackets. I can show you the brackets from a different site to prove they do make them

GlobalData - Thermalright True 120 C

GlobalData - Prolimatech Megahalems

You'll also need to buy a fan for these.

GlobalData - Scythe Kaze 120x38mm

I have no idea what those prices were. Euro's, Pound's, Peso's. Beats me

I just listed the best I saw

I guess I'll have to wait for the retention brackets then

By the way why do I need to buy a fan for the case? My case already have a lateral fan and one on the front and one on the rear.

Thanks.
