I am looking for the best Copper heatsink for a P4
I am not even considering using an aluminum heatsink as Copper has almost twice the Thermal conductivity. What is a good heatsink and fan combo? I am definitely going to be overclocking it.

I am not sure how the P4 chip is designed, but the CAK38 sure does fit the Socket370 FC-PGA's on the PIIIS!

Go with an SK6, those are all copper and one of the best coolers out. IM not positive if they work with P4's but im pretty sure that all socket heatsinks do.

the p4 has a completely differant and quite good mounting system, the standard p4 sink is actually quite good anyway, doesn't it have a copper base?

If you are looking for a high performance HSF assembly for the P4 - but this option is a bit pricey - Swiftech has the MC462 for the P4 chip. Great cooling, but about $70.00 with fan.
