Spec me a cheap i5 2500k cooler

Hi, I'm currently running this cpu on stock cooler at stock clocks. I'm thinking about trying a little overclocking, but don't want to spend a huge amount on after market cooling.

Can anyone suggest a£15-£20ish aftermarket cooler that would provide better performance than the stock cooler?

Thanks.

I would get this cooler for around £24:

I use this one (on a hotter CPU):

If you want easy install, this one's better:

Thanks for the quick response guys! :)

EDIT: What sort of overclock would you think I could expect to achieve on those coolers? I want to try to keep my cpu running at about 60C-ish under load.

Temp will depend on ambient and what fan speed you want, but easily 4+ghz.

Cheers.

I've got the Coolermaster V6 on my 2600K. Obviously, I removed the silly LEDs and marked the cooler with arrows so I know which way the air flows (it's not obvious otherwise).
It is quite big, but it's pretty quiet and shifts a lot of heat.
