HSF for P4 system

[RaWk]

I am going to build a P4 system at the end of the month when prices drop and I am a little confused as to what I can/should buy for a HSF solution. Are socket370 and/or socket A HSF compatible? Are there any recommended HSF solutions for an Asus P4T? Any ideas would be great. Thanks.

P4 HSF's are different from the socket A and 370 ones. I'd try the Indigo Orb for around $20. Here's a review of ten P4 heatsinks.

that's what I figured...

wow, I've been looking for a good P4 HSF shootout. This is perfect, thanks!

The Zalman 5000 is without a doubt the best heatsink you can get for a P4 right now. A buddy of mine just picked one up for his o/c 2Ghz, and its amazing how close to ambient temperatures that this heatsink can do under full load.

You do want to pick up a faster fan though than what comes with it. But that's true for about any heatsink.
