Best or the best price/performance?

I have the Alpha PAL8045. It can be found for $30-40 online and is easily enough heatsink to keep any current Athlon cool. You can pair it up with an 80mm fan of your choice for quiet/loud, low/high airflow.

Please do a search because this same question has been posted several times. There are a few contenders but it all depends on what you want to pay. Look into the Alpha Pal 8045 and Thermalright SK6.

Once again, do a search and see what others have had to say.

I have a Thermalright SK-6 with a Delta fan, which is very good but quite loud.

I also have the SK-6 but I replaced the 60mm Delta fan with an 80mm Panaflo fan.
