GeminII or Ninja?

[HexiumVII]

I'm looking for a fairly cheap heatsink for a new build with a 6420 Core2. Hoping to get like 3.2-3.6GHz out of the chip.

I'm looking for a fairly cheap heatsink for a new build with a 6420 Core2. Hoping to get like 3.2-3.6GHz out of the chip.

I haven't personally used either of those, but from my reading of the reviews, I believe that the Ninja out-performs the Gemini II.

I did want to comment that if you manage to get 3.6GHz (doable, depending on board, luck, skill and other components), that's getting to the high end of Air cooling (depending on the voltages required to get there with an 8x multiplier), so your goals are somewhat conflicting - 'fairly cheap heatsink' / 'really high overclock'.

Having said that, some reviews have the Ninja performing within a few degrees of the top-end air coolers, with the right fan(s) attached.
