Definitely the Xigmatek HSF and this bracket:
Retention Bracket - $7

Even with the bracket, the Xigmatek HSF is still cheaper than the Zalman HSF and cools much better than it. So I recommend getting the Xigmatek.

Does it matter that the bracket only lists LGA 775 as a compatible?

Oops, oversight on my part. Don't bother with the add-on bracket then. Completely forgot that AMD's heatsink retention system is better than Intel's, IMO anyway. The Xigmatek already comes with an AMD bracket.

So with the extra bracket dropped, the Xigmatek is an even better cost-effective HSF than the Zalman.
