Need a better cpu cooler

[roadworker]

I'm looking for a new heatsink to decrease my high cpu temperature......
I'm very interested in this Zalman cooler:

Anyone who knows a better 1 for an Athlon XP?

Not sure about that one rw, but I have one of these I'd love to sell (Never used). By my standards, it's just too damn big.

I'm a Big fan of ThermalTake. I have the Volcano 7 on both my dually boxes. run at 94F. Have been recomending the Volcano 12's lately _http://www.thermaltake.com/coolers/volcano/rs/a1745.htm So far no complaints. $35 shipped at Newegg

What about water cooling?

I recently replaced my PSU and CPU fans and am stunned by how much cooler my system is running. My old PSU fan sucked air in through the back and blew it out the side vents. I reversed the direction on the new fan. My CPU fan was actually going bad (making noises).

I just went to Compusa and bought any POS fans that fit The side of the box used to feel VERY "warm to the touch". It now feels room temperature!

Good luck!

THX for the input,guys......I went for the Zalman after reading more reviews.....the only Thermaltake they have at my favorite store,is a fanless 1....Coolermate Icecube and Arctic Cooling Copper Silent were the only other decent ones they had.....the others were stock coolers...
Watercooling is still too expensive for my taste,cheapest they have here,are around 200$.....and I don't like buying online,so there were not many options left.....
I'm curious how much my temps will drop,I'll report back when it's fitted...
