What about the new Alpha 8045?? That is a werry good hs.

Well I might as well make my pitch here too. I am using the Taisol copper bottom heatsink with the Delta 5900 rpm fan (AMD 1.4 gig @ 1533). It can be ordered with either the stock fan or the Delta I chose. It's not the loud Delta 7000 rpm monster. Very acceptable noise level and good cooling. This heatsink doesn't get much press but it's a good one. Triple clip is great. Good price also.

Ja, I second the Alpha PAL8045, with a quiet 80mm fan, when your mobo is supported.
The mounting alone is worth it ... and cheaper than the comparable Swiftechs

I got one for my second rig.
