Thye only sub-€30 cooler that stands a chance of keeping an OC'd 130W+ CPU in check is the Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus, but its getting harder to find
The next level of awesome up is the Scythe Mugen 2 (you can get either revision as they both support LGA1366) which costs €33+ but can easily shift 150W+ of heat without much effort

Contrary to popular opinion the H50 isn't the bestest cooler evar, and while still very good its use is fairly specific - to bridge the "air gap" in big Full Tower cases. "Big air" CPU coolers tend to suffer from a lack of laminar pressure in huge big cases like the 1200/HAF/ATCS/Phantom/800D etc. where there are no intakes anywhere near the CPU and even the exhausts tend to be set a little further back. By moving the cooler's radiator closer to the periphery of the case you get better pressure and better heat transfer, just like the "real" water cooling that such cases are explicitly designed for.
Anyway its pretty pricey even second-hand IIRC and with the Big Two AWOL you're a bit stuck....
Not sure about the Ninja, I'm not a huge fan personally 0 -

Nice given the lack of shipping
Doubt it'll hold 4GHz easily but 3.something should be easy enough for it! 
Solitaire, you always manage to put an element of doubt into each f your replies.....
Let's say I wanna handle 4ghz, what cooler would you recommend for the 30-50 quid price range that's actually available?0 -

...or you really mean the Coolermaster V10
The V12 was never released, the leaked pics suggested an oversized V8, no sign of a TEC like the V10, and the sheer weight of a 16-heatpipe cooler would have been too much for any mobo to bear. Some even discredited the shots as a very cleverly photoshopped V8 0 -

If it's not available its somewhat academic anyway But I'm guessing the second you put your tower back upright the V12 would rip the socket area of the motherboard clean out :eek: Thou cannot support 3lbs of cooler on PCB alone! :P 0
