I have an xp2700 on an abit nf7-s mobo and am unhappy with the stock
heatsink and fan. I had wanted to get the THermaltake SIlentboost, but
they don't make it anymore with the hydrowave bearing fan(the quiet
one).

So, I think i've narrowed down my choices to either the arctic cooling
copper silent 2L or the THermalright ALX-800 with either the Panaflo
L1A or M1A fan.

Is the TR worth the cost (it's twice as much as the arctic cooling?)

Also, if I do get the TR, which fan would be better? I plan on doing
some overclocking with it, but I also want it to be as quiet as
possible.

Thanks in advance!

You could also consider getting a Tt Volcano 12 & just not cranking it up.
At 2100rpm it is very quiet & always gives you the option to increase fan
speed if required.
