overclocking a64, need hsf advice!

[jkresh]

Will be going to an a64 sometime within the next week or 2, undecided about 939 (depends on price difference). Have 6 case fans and good cooling in the case, will be over clocking (within reason). Also case goes back and forth to school, so if the hsf is really heavy it needs to mount well. Noise isn?t too much of a problem but quieter is better. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

currently looking at the coolermaster hyper6 or thermaltake silent tower (assuming they will actualy fit in my case), slk948 is also in the running.

Any comments on which of the three. Seems like thermalright may be best, but I would think heatpipes would beat out plain copper fins.

I chose to go with the SLK948 myself. I'm in the "wanna OC but want quiet" category. Transportation wasn't an issue for me. I'm planning on going with a 120mm fan attached to it with a duct to eliminate the dead spot.

EDIT: In my consideration of HSF's, the Zalman was the only other front-runner in my opinion. Out of the 3 you listed, I'd definitely choose the SLK948 but you might wanna take a look at the Zalman.
