I'm looking for a CPU cooler for my e2180 OCed. Right now it's at 3.1ghz on stock cooling (30c idle, ~70-75c max which is way to much for my taste).

I had an xigmatek and I wasn't really a fan of it since it was so fucking big. It was hard as hell to install as well. That thing could cool like a beast though, 19c idle, 47c max. Unforuntately one of the push pins broke off. I bend the pins all the time, i'm used to my AM2 sockets. I'm considering getting it again but if there is something easier to install i'd prefer that. I also had an Artic Cooler Freezer 7 which was sooooooo noisy.

The stock is easy to install but it seems my other 2 after market ones were harder and that sorta turned me off of them. I'd also like it to be pretty silent if possible.
 
Why don't you just get the $5 bolt-through kit for your Xigmatek? It replaces the push-pin system so you won't have to worry about the broken pin, and it's much more secure as well.

+1 to this idea. You already have the Xigmatek HSF on hand. Might as well just reuse it with the simple bolt-through kit.
 
where's the cheapest place to get one of these kits.

And btw, I already RMAed it for a refund so I don't have it.
