Intel p3 retail fan/heatsinks vs. Alpha PFH 6035?

[potatoZ]

I just got a new p3-933 retail and i was wondering how well the retail fan/heatsink works. I know there's lots of reviews of aftermarket heatsinks but are there any that compare it w/ the Intel heatsink? I have an old Alpha PFH 6035 that I used on a Celeron 366 and I'm wondering if I should use that with my new p3 or just use the fan/heatsink that came w/ the cpu.

retail fan is ok
but the temps will be lower if u use the alpha

the 933 and up retail Heatsink is fairly decent. Almost up to taisol cek733092 quality.

If you do use hte Alpha, remember to make tighten the clip if you have to.

Yeah I was looking at the p3-933 retail heatsink and it looked pretty well made, not to mention very large... actually it even looks larger than the Alpha. Would you think the Alpha would still do a better job than the retail heatsink? Also I have the Alpha PFH 6035 and PAL 6035 so it's not really made for the newer coppermines so I'm not sure that makes a difference...
