Red Hot P4 3.0

My P4 3.0 gets crazy hot in summer. Room temps can get to 30c+.

When playing games my P4 will hit 80c+ and throttle.

It was one of the very first Prescott cores, so its a POS.

I have got some arctic silver 5, but that only helped a little bit.

Whats the best aftermarket 478 heatsink I can get?

I want something as quite as possible.

I was going to get a Tuniq Tower but they seem to be hard to come by here in Australia.

Any ideas?

If you'll pardon the pun, Prescotts were probably the hottest chip ever made!

Go with your first choice -- the Tuniq Tower 120.

Keep an eye on CoolPC in Brisbane. They get a pretty consistent supply of them, but they don't last long, so...
 
I was using the 9500 LED on mine, 3.9ghz stable. I think temps maxed out around 50. Tuniq would be even better.
