Emergency replacement

[Tea1337]

The fan on my stock AMD heatsink decided today would be a good day to die. I don't want to spend more than $18 and found this. Is this a good enough cooler until I build my new system? It appears to be good but I've never had experience with Zalman. Could I possibly be an improvement over the stock cooler? thanks.

 

Edit: The fan only lasted 2668 hours

It should be fine, just DON'T OVERCLOCK It probably wont be much of an improvement if any

I won't over clock it, I never have never will, I just need it to run.
