What heatsinks are available for the Pentium 4? I've only seen literally a handful, and most of them have an integrated fan. Are there any P4 coolers that are just heatsinks and allow placement of whatever fan you want besides the Alpha model? I've seen so few models to start with as opposed to Athlon coolers where there are dozens and dozens to choose from, so can anyone point me in a good direction? Maybe a recent roundup of P4 coolers or a place that sells a lot? Thanks.

This should give you a good start. Swiftech also sells a quality, but expensive heatsink for the p4. Hope that helps. I can give you more info, but it was a pretty vague question.

The stock retail HSF is fine, but you can use an Alpha PAL8942 if you want the ultimate P4 HSF ;)

I would have to argue that the Swiftech hs for the p4 is slightly superior to the Alpha PAL8942. While the Alpha provies a better price/performace ratio, the Swiftech tends to yield slightly lower temps.
