The flower one that is half aluminum and half copper. 7n000 or something like that. Works ok but it was my first P4 (3.0 prescott) and it seems to run warm when folding.

Zalmans' CNPS7000A-Cu (large copper flower) just fit under the power supply and comes within 2-3mm of touching the side panel on an A7N8X. This is one of my favorite heatsinks. It has it's work cut out sitting on my barton 2500+

I'm using a Thermalright SLK947U with my 2.8 Prescott @ 3GHz. I idle out at about 32C and load in the upper 40's.

My Barton 2800 has an Aerocool Deep Impact HS on it with dual 80mm fans. With both fans connected to it, it bends some capacitors slighly and covers half of the chipset fan. It clears it enough to let the fan spin though. It weighs about 2 lbs and looks like a mini skyscraper.

You either have an airflow problem or your PC is sitting on a hot plate. Why is your case 10C hotter than the room? Try to get it around 5C. My room stays in the low 30's and my case temp stays about the same.
