Yeah, zalmans are good and quiet too but they can't handle OCing like this Thermalright. They just don't have the flexibility to do silent OR OCing. Plus they are heavy...
This is also one of the best heatsinks out there, like the Zalmans.

Go for the Panaflo, they're awesome. They push a lot more air and make less noise than other fans at similar speeds.
The XP-90 is a great heatsink; you'll still probably get a good overclock with a moderate CFM fan instead. Hooking up the Panaflo to a fan controller is another option, whether you want it to be quiet or noisy whenever you want.
I don't know about the temperature sensor on the Vantec; I personally like to fine-tune the speed of my fans, since I don't like noisy rigs.

I've heard nothing but praise for panaflo, but I've never been able to get my hands on one.

you can get heatsinks that use 12cm fans, i was at one point going to buy one but never bothered, i will try and find it so you can have a look. You could always connect the fan through a speed controller so that you would have the choise of having it going full speed while you have it OC'ed, or turned down while you are browsing the web etc.
EDIT: My mistake, the heatsink was for an Athlon XP CPU socket type, but I'm sure you could find one for a socket 754.

Yeah, I just bought:
Panaflo 92mm fan
Thermalright XP-90 from Newegg
and Fanmate from Compusa.
We will see how this works out.
Also going to replace my Enermax 420watt PSU which I've had for a while.
460Watt or 500Watt?
Edit: I chose the 500watt. Can't resist the blue! jk

I ended up going for a Arctic 'Freezer' 64 to cool my Winchester. Before this I had a Thermalright sp-97 for my xp-m, which was excellent, but pricy.
The Arctic 64 is cheap and very good, especially for the price (after 12 hours of prime95 blend test, with my Winchester at 2.6 gig, the cpu temp is 49c) It's actually cooler than my friends XP-90, but he has poor flow in his case.
You can position the cpu fan so it blows air through the heatsink and out through the exhaust fan - which really helps with case and cpu temps.
Recommended (quieter than the 92mm fan on my Thermalright too)

Here's the stuff.
It's all in there.
Ignore the cables, they are everywhere!
Runs pretty quite with that little fanmate I have. Can't really hear the CPU fan over the front fans.

Anyone know if the XP-120 would fit in the Asus K8V-SE Deluxe? Link to it here:

Sort of...atomicspark85 said:
Should be fine as long as you don't bend them too far. But that is still a risk.
Personally, I wouldn't have a problem if that was my system. I can't speak for you though.

First I was going to say forget it and go with the XP-90, but then I was looking at the installation instructions and they actully used a K8V-SE Deluxe and looks like it should fit okay. I'll try it out at least.
