The absolute best fan and heatsink for the Athlon XP is the Swiftech MCX462, there is no cooler other than water coolers that can beat it.

The best HSF without having to take out the mobo to install is the SK6 (IMHO).

SwiftTech is the way to go. Be careful with the MCX462, it is a very good way to crack the die on the chip. I am using a SwiftTech MCX370 and happy with it. Having a copper base always helps out too, but just adds to the weight.

for all your SwiftTech needs. They also have the 190CFM delta fan there.. ;)
