What Kind of Heatsink Fan Shall I Get?

Hi

Im getting ready to buy a OEM P4 3.4 Prescott for my ASUS P4P800 Deluxe.
Where can i buy an Intel HSF for it?

This works very well for me with P4 3.0C:

ZALMAN CNPS7000A-AlCu Aluminum + Copper CPU Cooler for AMD XP Socket 462/
754 and Intel Socket 478

Is the Zalman quieter or noisier than the standard Intel HSF?

I have not used the Intel HSF. However, I bought the Zalman because I was
told by a friend I trust that it is both quieter and more efficient at
cooling than the Intel fan. I have an Antec case with two 120mm fans (front
and back), as well as an Antec power supply with fan. The system is
substantially quieter than any other PC I've ever owned -- even with four
fans running.

Go to www.sidewindercomputers.com and look at the P4 Intel heatsink/fan
products, especially those from Thermalright and Swiftech. They are a
little pricey, but they are very good and with the right fan, very
quiet. I have two from Swiftech.

I am really impressed with the Thermalright XP-120.

Zalman are quality and quiet, Intel cheap and noisy!

I have Zalman, PSU and Heatsink & fan. I only wish they made quiet HDDs.
