microcenter has some damn good deals. So which of these is the best heatsink for the money?

OCZ vendetta for $25 - $10 MIR
Xigmatek 120mm 4 heatpipe universal cpu cooler for $28 - $20 MIR
Xigmatek 120mm 3 heatpipe universal cpu cooler for $30 - $15 MIR



and lastly is this a decent vga cooler?

Battle-Axe VD964 Twin Fan VGA Cooler

it can be had for $3 AR!
 
Xigmatek 3 HP is good enough to do the job, other sites reckon it's better than the 4.
 
Vendetta has a smaller fan, so it may not able to handle OC as high as the one with bigger fans. If you arent planning to OC, get the cheapest one.
 
All the xigmatech ones are pretty decent...I own a Xigmatech Apache for my shuttle and its working wonderfully ever since I bought it!
 
The S1283 seems to perform just as well if not better than the 1284, so I would just go with that. The 1283 and 1284 are both better than the Vendetta.
 
If you want to get an OCZ get the vendetta 2, but for your money, the xigmatek 3 heat pipe is better.
