cooling a duron 850

OK i just got in a duron 850 on a kt7a and with the supplied hs/fan that came with it, it keeps it at about 120 running rc5. i put on an old alpha pal6035 with a sunon 60mm fan and it's at about 113 right now. my question is: should i get another pal6035 to use on this machine, or get a pep66 with a delta 10mm tall fan, or would something else be better. i don't want to go out and spend more than about $35 w/o shipping. what would be the best option for me? i'm not really going to oc it that much, maybe to 1ghz if it will do it at default voltage. thanx for your advice

[edit] i also want this to be fairly quiet, so nothing with a delta 7k rpm fan either.
 
volcano 2 is only $8. It works well but I'd say replace the fan with either a sunon, sanyo, or pabst. I can't stand the delta fan (7K).
 
I've got a Delta and don't mind it. You can't sleep in the same room with it but when your listing to music or playing a game then you don't even notice it. Really not that bad and worth the sound for all the performance🙂
