Thanks everyone for the advice...I may look into the Silverado.
You people should read Anandtech's or [H]ardOCP's heatsink reviews more often. Anand even goes ahead and performs extensive sound tests. I think it's basically a huge waste of money to spend as much as $80 for a Silverado, what I'd recommend to the original poster (given that he has a fast T-Bird) is this... Either one of those new Thermaltake Copper Orbs (they're coming out, not readily available, but they'll be cheap, like $20) which will only let you overclock up to a limit or get a Taisol or ThermoEngine and leave the stock fans on. Both of the later are found on most online cooling stores (if you're going to the right ones, www.inflowdirect.com is a good one btw), there are two CGK Taisols. The 6xx one has a copper inlet which helps a bit. Anyway, their fans are 60x10 fans that make very little noise and the Thermaltake Orbs (but not the Super Orbs) are the only things quieter 'cept maybe for an $80 rip-off.
