I am looking for a mid-priced slot 1 cooler (alpha is too much) and have narrowed my search to these three (but if you know of any better ones, please let me know):

Vantec PD5030
Global Win VGS08H
Golden Orb Slot 1

Has anyone had any good/bad experiences overclocking using one of these? All input appreciated.

Thanks

I would definitely go with the Alpha P3125.
Current temps: 28C idle 32C full load w/700e@933

Look on the For Sale/Trade forums.
I bought mine for $25 shipped.

Let me save you some time and $$$ my Vantec and Golden orb are doing a great job keeping my closet cool. For cooling my P3 600@841 I use a Global win VOS-32 with SETI running 24/7 my CPU max temp is 35c You can get them from 2cooltek for about $30

I have heard that the VOS-32 is pretty good cooler, but how loud is it?. Since I sleep next to my computer and its usually on, noise is a factor. I also heard it was pretty big and can cover a couple DIMM slots.
