How about a thermalright SLK-800a?
Not happy with them huh? No offense, but you ever consider that you're doing something wrong? Like I said, I'm not trying to be nasty or anything, but the clip on my slk-800 just broke (one of the 3 screwdriver retention tabs broke) and it's almost a year old... and, it's still easily functional...
However, if you're unhappy with Thermalright... the next question is are you planning on overclocking? If not, I know of a bunch of very good heatsinks that perform very well but aren't up to the task of handling a highly overclocked 2500...
