I am from the AMD XP liniege and have decided to go with a P4 next. I am looking at cooling. I have a volcano7+ on my XP 1800. I really dig the look and concept of the Cooler master Jet 4. My current rig has mem fan, 2 psu fans, the Volcano 7, Northbridge fan and 6 case fans. So many due to the fact i have no central air in my house. I have a window unit. ANy way my next set upo i am useing the ABIT 875P mobo either a 2.8 or 3.0 HT P4. That choice with be up to fundage. the $60 in price may be enough of a diff for me to go with the 2.8. I am going to use a new Chieftec case with about 3 case fans and the fans in the ENERMAX EG465P-VE psu. Well now to my question. I wont be overclocking so would the Jet 4 heatsink/fan be good enough to keep it cool? Or could i even get by with the stock heatsink/fan that comes with the cpu?

stock intel fan is fairly good. some people can even get some decent overclocks from it

Stock is fine..
The jet master sucks.. too loud..
The CFM is low too.. if the fan breaks.. big problem...
