I have the zalman CNPS7000A AlCu, and it's pretty damn good at cooling my processor (2.6c@2.8-ish) at very acceptable sound levels (inaudible). I guess I could overclock more if I wanted to, but don't. The thing *should* cool better than an Aero4, methinks - at least it makes a huge difference in sound (which was the thing I was looking for.)
Temperatures: in a 22 degrees (C) room, my P4 runs at 34 C at idle, and it never goes beyond 48 C. Of course, my P4P800 *could* be a bit off with those readings, but my Coolermaster Aerogate's temperature sensor tends to agree.
