Thermalright SLK900u (or a) is very hard to beat. I'm using one right now
with my XP2600+ @ 2.6GHz / 2.06V...tops out at 48C

Actually, its the SP-97, with a heatpipe. The SLK-900/947 is probably the
best price/perf hsf though. Be sure you team it with a 92mm fan.

Well overclockers .com still place the SLK900 slightly ahead...tested using
a die simulator: http://www.overclockers.com/articles373/socketA.asp.
I think in the real world the difference is too close to call. In my opinion
the heat pipes are as much for novelty value as anything else.
