Recommendations wanted on HSF for Athlon 64 and Asus A8V Deluxe MB!

Hello All,

I am thinking about upgrading the MB and processor for my system. I would like to get the Asus A8V Deluxe MB and the Athlon 64 3500+ processor. As you know, one thing leads to another, and I was wondering if some of you would give me your thoughts and recommendations on a quality HSF for this combo. I plan to experiment with OCing a bit. I currently have a Thermalright SLK800 and Thermaltake Smart Case Fan II, but I'm not sure that I can use it with the new board. Thanks for any input.

The SLK-800 is a no go!

Take a look at these sinks...They all fit your mobo and chip, according to Thermalright.
Forget the rest and get the best..
