I am using a Coolermaster DP5-6H51. Its not the best but for the price seems to perform pretty well!

FOP32 on Duron 700@900mhz
FOP38 on TBird 850@950Mhz and Duron 750@950Mhz
Alpha Pal 6035 on TBird 850@900Mhz. (57 degrees, still can't figure out what went wrong. Used the thermal grease which came with the alpha and it's mounted perfectly.

Hmmm, all those HSF mentioned above are good.
This is a list of HSF, according to my preference:

1a.) FOP38
1b.) FOP32
2.) Taisol .....
3.) Kanie .....
4.) Super Orb
5.) Alpha 6035

does nobody like the PEP66v2? From a few reports I have (one at 2cooltek) seen it cools better than all of these you guys mentioned.
