Best P4 heatsink?

[Naythn]

What heatsink would you reccomend that maintains a low noise level.

I'd also be interested in any roundups of P4 coolers that you may have found.

Thanks in advance.

One word: Alpha

One other word: "Stock".

This is definitely the quietest (as well as the cheapest) way to go and it will handle OC's up to at least 133 FSB just fine. If you look at peoples' temps, it seems that you don't need to move to an aftermarket HSF until you start doing some pretty hardcore OCs.

another vote for stock. The sunflower is nice too at $19.

yeah the stock hsf is too nice to be replaced,
if i bought my cpu w/out hsf than i'll get a nive one
but since they give a reliable one than it's not
necessary to replace it.

At Athlon that's different case, their stock is terrible for OC'ing.
