Default Recommend me a fanless Heatsink

For my Socket 478 Prescott P4 3.06 CPU

What is a good fanless heatsink I can use for overclocking. I have some thermaltake heatsink right now that is hella loud it literally sounds like my computer is dying and if you had to rate it it's probably about 100dBA.

What should I get? I was looking at these on xioxide.



Thermaltake Sonic Tower 4-in-1 Heatpipe Cooler

A solid copper base quickly and efficiently wicks heat away from your sweltering CPU core. The ability to mount an optional 120mm fan opens the doors of endless opportunity for ultra-performance users.

Thermaltake Fanless103 Heatpipe Cooler "CL-P0019"

Quote:
Heatpipe. Just saying that word makes a lot of people shiver with anticipation. But those people are sicko's. So we aren't going to talk about them. But we are going to talk about Thermaltake Fanless103 Heatpipe Cooler for use with Pentium 4 and AMD K8 systems. The sound level coming off of this cooler is, uhh, well, 0 dBa. Yes, completely silent. There aren't any moving parts or fans. It uses heatpipes (settle down sicko's) that transfer heat away from your CPU for great performance with zero noise. Now, this unit is fairly tall, almost 6" to be exact. The aluminum fins mixed with the copper base help to dissipate heat and allows your system to run at peak performance.

So when you are ready to help your system run at optimum performance, and do away with sound from your CPU cooler, remember the Thermaltake Fanless103 Heatpipe Cooler. Alright sicko's, get back to work!

Specifications:
Compatibility Intel P4 478 Prescott FMB1.5 3.6GHz
- AMD Athlon 64 & Athlon 64 FX Heatsink Dimension 105x95x138mm
Heatsink Material Copper Base & Aluminum Fin Heatpipe Copper Tube 6mm x 6pcs
Weight 752g

I want my 3.06 to about 3.4 if possible. Keep in mind that its prescott so it'll run a little hotter.

You can now buy the Thermalright XP-120 bracket that will allow an application on an s478. Great heatsink, should be able to easily keep your temperatures down. The XP-90 and XP-90C are also quite effective.

Yup, although a 120mm fan can be fitted on the XP120, and a 90mm on the XP-90 and 90C for an improvement. I have a 120mm on the XP-120, and it's pretty much still silent.
