heatsinks made by "Alpha" tend to be good. they're very big.

You have no clue about overclocking so I suggest you either read ALOT of stuff so that you actually know what you are getting yourself into or just give it up.

I already received my Abit KR7A-RAID, but I'm still waiting for the Athlon XP 1900+ to arrive. I also already have the Alpha PAL8045, but I want a good fan. People are recommending Papst fans, but I can't find the thing anywhere, well at least not the 46CFM one. I want this fan but I don't think it's sold in the US. I was therefore considering the Delta 68CFM, or the 80CFM one, but these are too loud.

Chill out man-buy the cpu first and try overclocking it only if it doesn't satisfy your needs.Afterall it's AMD remember?
