Hello, I bought an Asus P5P800 (why a P5P800? cuz I cant go PCI-E yet
and need an Asus agp based board) + P4/3 GHz 800M LGA775 530 on
newegg.

I would like to hear from the group as to what better, economy wise
($$$$) heatsink/fan you use over the stock, that works good and is
quiet. I cant afford a 50.00 unit now and the thermaltake Universal
SilentTower Heatpipe CL-P0025 Cooler looks nice. comments please.
Thanks group!

I found that the standard heatsink cooler was fine on my 3.4 after I
replaced my case. I am currently using the Thermaltake Jungle 512 but
don't see much difference. For me the placement of the CPU at the top
of the board was leaving no space for airflow with my old case. A new
case with room dropped my idle temperatures from the high 50s to low 40s.
