XP-90C or XP-120 both are pretty much equal. I'd get the XP-90C, because it's pure copper and with AC5, it'll work great. Don't cheap out with the non-copper XP-90.

According to zalman, your motherboard, or evn CPU socket, are not supported by this heat sink. Your putting your money on the line trying it... I wouldn't risk it, unless someone else has done it.
Checking Thermalright right now... will report results in a moment.
EDIT
Cant find compatability list on their site... but the site also does not mention XP boards or CPUs. Just P4's and AMD 64's.
Sorry, I forgot to mention that I'll be getting an AMD Athlon 64 3400+ Newcastle (2.4 GHz, Skt. 754) and a DFI Lanparty UT NF3 250Gb motherboard. I just checked and it seems compatible.
:::EDIT::: diabloII, thanks for the list, I'll check those out.
get a skt 939 3200 venice instead of that, and as i said go with the xp90... its lighter than all those beasts u showed D2... Stay simple with something thats well known and recommended all over the place. XP90 + 58 cmf panaflow @ 38db will be better than all those u showed..
I'm going with the Skt. 754 just because I won't be overclocking and I'll get more performance out of the 3400+. If I was overclocking I would DEFINITELY go with the Venice.
yes the instructions does make the chip somewhat more interesting too look at.. skt 939 = dual channel, 754 is only single channel so u wont benefit from that.

Indeed, however dual channel is only a 3-5% increase, and I think the CPU power of the 3400+ vs. the 3200+ will more than compensate for that drawback.
