But i know the heat sink and fans that come with AMD are about as good as they get. buying aftermarket one for them is almost always a total waste of money. But if pentium heat sinks are really that much worst then AMDs are and it does help getting a aftermarket one it will just help that much more running a air duct to it. just make sure you have enough exhaust fans on the case to suck all the air out thats being blown in. otherwise air will just stay in the case and heat up.

The emphasis is mine...
In an attempt to quell the proliferation of metaphysics, I should remind you that even
fluids obey
conservation of mass. Thus, if you push air into the computer case (say, with an intake fan), then an equal amount of air
will be pushed out, regardless of whether you have an outtake fan or not.
Now, don't get me wrong, the addition of an outtake fan can help you shape the kind of airflow you want but, even with its absence, the air simply won't "stay in the case and heat up..."
