Well I didn't check that link out but I could reccommend getting a Thermalright AX-7 and putting a Vantech 80mm Tornado on it. That's only if you aren't worried about noise though, 55 dba, but it pushes 84 cfm. I'm already using an AX-7 and I just bought the Tornado, hasn't got here yet though :(

I am just remembering, haven't checked anything out, but I remember going to www.1coolpc.com and seeing this heatsink that was like a 80mm cube. Then you could mount and 80mm fan on top. Personally, I have unlocked my Athlon XP 1700+, am using a Thermaltake Volcano 6 cu, and running the CPU at specs somewhere between 1900+ and 2000+, it doesn't pass about 50°C, which is real good considering only one case fan. Personally, I want to move to water cooling, but don't have the $300 for the ultimate systems. Water cooling makes almost no noise, though.

I'm running an athalon 2200xp I have a volcano 7+ with artic 3 on mediam not high and my cpu is at 43c load and it never ran over 48c so I think you would like the volcano 7+ ( but you run it on high it gets pretty loud )
