GlobalWin's new socket cooler which looks like the FOP38 on steroids. Fits Athlon Socket A, Coppermine and most socket CPU's. For size reference, the WBK38 is wider than the FOP38 and has more fins than the Vantec. Includes a Delta 60x25mm 38CFM 3-wire RPM fan with fan guard. Also comes with a 3-4 pin adapter and the thermal grease is preapplied.
price: $23.99

I can get my 1.4 ghz athlon to 1684MHZ and is running at 37 idle and 42 load. It's a good fan/heatsink.
From various heatsink roundups the best HSF at this present time is the Thermalright SK6 copper heatsink with delta fan. Look at "http://www.amdmb.com" (http://)
for the cooler roundup.

If you really want to push for cooling your cpu, do what I did. Buy a top hsf (Mines ThermoSonic) and use a Delta 80mm 68cfm Screamer with an 80->60mm adapter. Boy does my comp run cool now. Beware of the noise though, I can hear the sound of my computer all the way upstairs!
Millennium Glaciator or SK-6, period.. I just wrote up a review of the top 4 in the cooling section running on my 1.4. Check it.

The Alpha is not out yet.. Wont be for about 8 weeks from what I am told, When it does come out thats what I will be getting!!
