Tons of options. All of these should be available at http://www.2cooltek.com, among other places. I've had great experiences with 2cooltek, frankly they rock. I buy the majority of my cooling stuff from them, & have probably spent $200 with them. To view their whole selection of S370 (PPGA & FC-PGA) heatsink/fan combos, visit:

My personal recommendations would be:

Golden Orb (what I use on my FC-PGA Celeron, excellent value for the money, $14)
http://2cooltek.safeshopper.com/1/107.htm?240

Alpha PEP66 (this one with 38 cfm "black label" fan, noisy as hell, but pretty much top of the line performance, $36)
http://2cooltek.safeshopper.com/1/137.htm?240

People also seem to have pretty good luck with the GlobalWin FOP32, though I haven't tried it myself:

While you're at it, invest in a tube of good thermal paste. I personally use the Arctic Silver (small contact area). It conducts heat like a dream, but barely (if at all) conducts electricity. Perfect for use in your comp. It's pricey, but worth it. One tube will last you a long, long time.

The majority of these are also available at other online vendors, such as:

http://www.3dfxcool.com (I've bought twice from Bart, good both times)
http://www.millisec.com (Twice or three times here, again good service)


This is, of course, just air-cooling. If you want to get really freaky, you can try water...but it's a lot more expensive. Check out these links for water cooling info:

Good luck...

Get yourself a Golden Orb. They work great and are probably the best value. Also, as Viper GTS said, 2cooltek is a great site. I'd recommend them too...

Yeah, 2cooltek.com and 3dfxcool.com are the only places I buy cooling equipment from. I usually get fans from 3dfxcool if they have what I want because of their no hassle lifetime warranty. Stay away from 3dcool.com however. They don't know anything about customer service, and are extremely rude. Just check http://www.resellerratings.com for other opinions on the companies.
