What are some good heatsinks that don't cost much? I've never bought a heatsink before(using stock one still) so I dunno how much to expect to pay.

edit: and I don't care about noise.

I'm in portland. I think I'm finally gonna upgrade enough to start Ocing... I tried a while ago, never got past 1.5ghz(using a 1.4 tbird) or so and it still wasn't stable on the hotter days in summer so I've kept it at default since then.

I'm not sure how cheap you mean, but I purchased a svc-gc68 for like $2.00 a few months back. Its not copper (all aluminum), but it comes with an 80mm fan. I lapped mine and threw on a higher cfm fan and have had no problems with temperatures. If you want to spend more than that I'd agree that the sk-6 is pretty sweet.

I'd suggest the GC69 too. Or AX-7s are only $ 18 at SVC now.

If you still want the SK6+, SVC has it for much cheaper.
