That's the one I was talking about.

I couldn't remember the model of it but you just jogged my memory.

Seriously, if that doesn't fix it for you then I don't know what will. 
Excellent choice.

Make sure to use the (included) thermal grease. A customer of mine who 
also bought one "forgot", and returned the unit to me claiming it was 
faulty. After fitting it for him (and charging appropriately) he called 
up later and said he was over the moon with it.

Oh, and make sure you point it the right way. It will in fact fit with 
the air flow in either direction, but make sure it jets out the back of 
the PC. Another common mistake.
