http://www.ipkonfig.com/Reviews/Heat...lpha-PAL8045U/ sounds like a good heatsink, but the best one is still the SP-97.

yeah, Alpha makes fine heatsinks. Until Thermalright came along, it was pretty much just Alpha and Swiftech competing for the title of greatest heatsink.

For the most part, there isn't a bad heatsink made by Alpha, Swiftech, or Thermalright (not to be confused with the ever-basstardizing Thermaltake!). But the newer ones are better than the older ones.

get a thermalright, you won't be sorry.
i had the 8045 on my barton, and presently it's on my friend's duron 1.6.
it's a very decent heatsink, but for a modern, overclocked processor it's just not enough. sp-97 is the way to go, worth the extra money
