Best heatsink and fan for the 939 chip?

While I'm waiting for the actual chip and motherboard to come out, I'm shopping for everything else. I just bought an Enermax 550 PS and an Antec P-160 WF case.
Does anyone have any suggestions for the actual chip cooling? Air would be my first choice. I have an Thermalright SLK on my current XP2100 that is running at 2700 speeds. I'm pretty happy with them, but I'm interested if anyone has run across anything that rival them or is any better.
I thing currently the Swiftech MCX478-V is the closest.
Can anybody indicate why one is better than the other?
Thanks for your time.

If Thermalright comes out with something like an SP-98, then I'm betting that will be the cooling king, IMO.

Well, the SLK948 U is pretty much the best right now and I assume that all current A&$ heatsinks will fit the 939. Judging by the performance difference between the SLK947 and the SP97 the difference between a SP98 (if there is gonna be one) and the SLK948 should be about 2°C, maybe 3°C.
