So my intel stock cooler broke and now im planning on buying an aftermarket cooler but im on a tight budget!

 

This one costs 24 euro at my local electronics shop(and the reviews for this heatsink arent bad at all on newegg):

Is it worth it at all? Or should I get a new intel stock cooler? Also I want to oc my Q8200, with the intel cooler I achived from 2.33GHz to a stable 2.8, giving me 61 degrees underload. I will try to put out a libk in the comments for my local shops website. 

 

Thanks!

I personally think Zalman is a reliable budget option, bough a PSU from them and it works flawlessly.
