Default which heatsink is quiet and well performing?

if youve been following my other thread you know i need to get the heat situation under control

I want to get a new heatsink and some thermal paste cause i am using the stock one and no paste and its starting to become a problem


anyway

I ahve a p4 478 3.0 prescott

im mostly concerned about noise and heat

i couldnt care about the bling of it

i have room i think

i have a mid tower with a 6800 gt in it and i think thats the only thing that is really near the heatsink

its on a p4p800se asus main board
