If you are dead set on only $25.00, then consider the GlobalWin WBK-38. It delivers about .22c/w

Well acording to overclockers.com, the Millenium Glaciator is the best heatsink for the price, they report .18 C/W.

Well, for a little more than $25.00 ($29.95) you can get the OCZ Gladiator. It got good a good review from Joe and its footprint should fit any SocketA/370 motherboard. It tested at .23c/w, but with a higher wattage source than the WBK-38, so it should outperform the WBK-38.

I would suggest paying a bit more for the heatsink. You'll find it is well worth it if you want to overclock, or even if you don't. The Millenium Glaciator I just got makes it seem like I wasn't using a heatsink at all before, and the 2 I got for my Tbirds came to a total of just over 80 bucks including shipping. I think they were a very good investment.

Why only $25? You risk a $175 CPU by buying a cheap cooler? Remember, your 1.33 is putting off a lot of heat. Many 'lower' end products will allow it to run moderately well, but at high temps.
Consider about $45 for a decent HSF including an 80mm to get the hot air out after it's off your CPU!

I've got a WBK38 on a 900tbird at 1066, with case fans my temps are under 45C most of the time.
But, running at 1333, I'm gonna agree that you'll want more than a WBK38.
If you ever plan to watercool it may be a good temporary investment, but, if you gonna keep it aircooled then you'd save money in the long run to buy a Glaciator or Swiftech MC462. Sure they're over $40, but if you spend 25 now, and then decide you need more a few months later, then you'll be spending well over 65 total....
For 25 bucks I'd go for the WBK38, but if your talknig about putting that on your setup, then I too would reccommend something better.

well, I would at least spend $10 more to get a CAK 38 or a thermoengine. But I would urge to consider the ~$45 glaciator of the SK-6. You will end up using them for more than one cpu.
