What air force fan/heatsink is the best for a P4?
What air force fan/heatsink is the best for a P4?
If you can get one, you can't go far wrong with the Alpha Pal 8942. Doesn't usually come with a fan though, so be sure to buy one too!
Isn’t copper much better than alum for dispersing heat? I was thinking about this one- http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Produc...uctCode=370438
Hmmm, there are some conflicting views on my local Bit-tech.net. I can't help I'm affraid!
I would take a look at thermalrights heatsinks, the slk models rock. and asuming you have a mill, mill yourself a waterblock, find a radiator and all the other goods
www.overclockers.com has a good heatsink database. check out the forums too.

Check out SVC.com
Jon (JFettig) speaks the truth. Specifically, check out the Heatsink Roundup at overclockers.com. Joe does a good job of reviewing heatsinks without bias, and with fairly good test equipment. I've owned many aircooled heatsinks, and found that my results and his correlated nicely.
If you want absolute performance, be forewarned that the fans are going to be LOUD!!! If at all possible, try to go to a local computer shop and listen to some of these 6000-8000 RPM fans before you buy, it may change your mind and save your ears.
Good luck!

I guess it's time for a water cooled system. What will that cost me?
I just bought a AMD 2600+ and I can't even hear the fan (retail box fan)

I wish it wouldn't crash.
Here is somewhat of an idea..

if you backup the page you can see a few water cooled tools options they have.
