I am building a HTPC and spare pc with old parts i have lying around i have  2 775 boards and i plan to pick up 2 e5450's.

 

But i want to try to overclock them to 4Ghz,i tested with an e8400 and a hyper tx3 i had,but it was running at almost 90c a little bit too hot.

 

What is the cheapest cooler you would suggest?

Well a q6600 on ebay is not much cheaper than a e5450,plus a e5450 at 4Ghz is on par with a stock clocked 4000 series i5.

MY BAD everyone... I didn't realize the e5450 was a quadcore... The evo 212 is a decent choice at a good price. The e5450 is also lga 771 so make sure your motherboard(s) have compatibility for the xeon CPU's. Good luck.
