Those links just takes me to the site's front page.

I would recommend this;

Speeze CPU Fan Model 5F263B1M3 for AMD/Intel Socket A/370

It's $7 from newegg.com and is extremely quiet.

if i had to pick i guess i'd say number 2 but i agree, neither would be as
good a choice as the speeze.

Thermalright heatsink and either a papst or panaflow fan (you did want the
best right :O)

Isn't the HAC-V81 better because it runs at 4800rpm instead of 2500rpm and
it has 62.8CFM airflow instead of 32.11CFM?

Isn't the airflow the most important thing?

BTW, do you recommend I use Cooler Master Premium Thermal Compound Kit?
http://www.dabs.com/products/prod-in...quicklinx=16XH

It's cheap so I don't mind purchasing it if it improves anything.

I have had good luck with the Speeze Falcon Rock. This cooler runs at a
slower RPM because it has a 8 CM Fan. It hardly makes any noise at all. I
put a Thermaltake Air Scoop mod between the fan and the Cooler. I am using
it with an XP2400+.

Price of the cooler was $9.00 at www.newegg.com
They were out of stock last time I checked.

Speeze is an excellent cooler, but I only like the ones with the 8 CM fan.
I hate having a 60 CM fan running at 5,000 RPM or more. There are also some
mods that can go from a 6 CM fan to a 80CM fan you might try.

High airflow would be noisey... if you don't mind noise then fine, but
I don't assume this. I prefer a better hunk of metal under the fan,
and the fan being a common, standard size, so if you want to replace
the fan it's easily done.

I do know that choice #1 isn't what you want, I have the "next-better"
Coolermaster 'sink in that series, a CP5-7JD1B, which isn't very good
at a Thoroughbred core, anything over an XP2100... it'll keep the
processor stable, but pretty hot, less of a temp margin than I like,
and certainly not good for overclocking. It would be better for a
Palomino since it's weakest area is the CPU interface.

The Thermalright line that Lane suggested is a pretty good option,
like an SK-7 or better, with a 80x25m fan on top in your preferred
speed-range.
