Best Heatsink for the ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe?

[Cow Fly]

I'm planning to buy an ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe motherboard and the AMD 64 3500+ .90nm OEM processor. What would be the best heatsink and fan to use with this setup. I was considering the Thermalright XP-90.

XP-90 fits I believe without going over the edges the motherboard...

I still want to find out about 7700/XP-120 compatability

Does anyone else have any information regarding this question?

I have a Zalman CNPS7700-CU mounted to my board just fine.

yeah, i'm asking for the 7700-AlCu for christmas. I've heard great things about the XP-90/120, as well, but i like the zalman cause it's cheap, quiet, and almost as powerful. I'm hoping to boost my 3000+ a nice bit, maybe to 2.25GHz (for starters, unless my ddr500 can go higher)

If I am ever able to get my motherboard I think that I will go with the CNPS 7700-Cu.

you can easily do that with the stock cooler.
