CPU Cooler!!!

[justme101]

Hii guys..

So i recently bought NZXT Lexa S!! and after 4 hours i managed to hook dismantle and re assemble my entire PC from the old cabinet!! (Pics to come)

But i noticed that the stock CPU cooler for my processor was hanging from the motherboard with only one good leg and the rest of the three legs were broken

And it's still in the same position in the LEXA..So i will be needing a new CPU cooler please suggest few after considering the size of the cabinet!!

I have this in mind... CPU Cooler..will it fit properly?

Also i noticed that the thermal paste on the CPU and the stock cooler was almost NIL and what's left was completely dry...suggest me good cleaning utilities and a thermal compound as well

P.S. here are snapshots of the CPU and the stock cooler for reference..

the one which you have decided is OK for medium Overclocking...
btw never hold processor chip in your hand like that image

For cleaning, use isopropyl alcohol. It is available in any common medical store.
