Hi, i need a HSF for Pentium 4 socket 478. is there anything with good performance and low noise? i just broke the metal clip off my Thermaltake Spark 7 trying to remove it GRR. Luckily my P4 is alright but I need a new HSF. Using the Intel stock HSF. I'm thinking either the Swiftech or the Thermalright SP94 with Panaflow 92mm 56cfm 35db fan.
 
Zalman 7000AlCu. Very good performance, quiet and not too expensive. The Swiftech MCX478V and the SP-94 are also very good heatsinks but are both more expensive than the 7000AlCu, plus you'll need to buy a fan for them and if you make the wrong choice you can easily end up with something fairly noisy.
