Best heatsink for Athlon XP

[Icej]

I have a 2100+ overclocked to 2600 right now. I am using the stock heatsink and the temp for the cpu is 53C. At full load it is around 60. I am wondering what is the best heatsink for this and I don't want it to be real pricey.

I was thinking about getting the Coolermaster Aero7. What is the comparison between the two?

 

[scottchen]

Thermalright wins in every single way, less noise for more performance.

What is a good quiet 80mm fan to add to it?

yea I was gonna edit mine but I never got around to it. That smart case fan II is too loud, it is like 46dB that is crazy. I think I am going to go with a Sunon 30 dB and still a high cfm.

SM2 has speed control, all the way down to 2k rpm. which is like less than 20dB.
