I am going to be buying lots of parts today, can somebody tell me which one I should get @ newegg. they have a limited choice but I dont want to buy anywhere else.. I dont want it to be super loud, but it can have SOME noise, but i dont want it "blow" at cooling (hehe). I might overclock some, but not sure..

The Thermaltake VOLCANO II Heatsink + Dual Ball bearing Fan
any good?

or
the
Cooler Master EP5-6i11 AMD Socket A Processor Heatsink and Fan

or maybe
Thermaltake MINI SUPER ORB Heatsink + 2 Ball bearing Fans

I don't know if Newegg carries it, but look into the Taisol CGK760.

It should be better than both of your thermaltake options, but I dunno about the third.

Coolmasters are pretty bad ;)

Get an alpha, or if you really have the money a hedgehog.

The EP5-6i11 is actually a very decent hsf. Good mass, easy clip, and a much quieter fan than the volcanoII. The stock fan on the coolermaster is a Motor One(Sunon samll fan division)4700rpm fan that is approx equal to the volcano II in cfm minus the annoying whine and tendacy to vibrate. It is isn't quiet by Panaflo standards but you'll be hearing more of a tolerable airflow noise than the familiar whine of the volcano/ystech/delta fans. But with oem coolermasters, you never know the exact model fan newegg has in stock.

The Cooler Master sucks- it is excessively loud and not all that great at cooling. I used it on my friends 1GHz tbird for awhile before he was finally driven crazy said, "Okay, lets get me a quiet one." So we got him a TaiSol CGK742092. That HS/fan has been updated recently to have a mostly copper base (a big hunka copper in the base) and is better now and is, as Gregg mentioned, the CGK760092. Great heatsink/fan unit, I have it cooling my 1.4GHz birdy right now.

I'd recommend getting that HS/Fan and some Arctic Silver 2 at Compuwiz-Tech. :)

For 1.4Ghz and above the best bets are:

1. Swiftechs copper base
2. Thermalright's
3. Taisol copper base.

Anything else is a gamble. For availability check this link

if you want to OC, consider a glaciator. super quiet, super good, just a unsafe mount system if you arent semi-careful.
