I have a 2.8c p4 and its at 3.2ghz using a stock cooler rarely goes above 39c and its left on for a long time each day btw.

Are you bothered about noise, Gryzor?

If so, I'd recommend the Zalman 7000 series

Yep. Having just gotten one of these I'd second that. It's the biz. Just check it fits on your mobo.

Try here.... http://www.zalman.co.kr/english/product/cnps7000a-478_motherboard_list.html , for a list of motherboards that have problems with the Zalman7000.

Id recomend getting the AlCu (cheaper model) as the performance difference isint big between the two models. Its a very good cooler and nice and easy on the ears.

www.hitide.ie should have them in stock.

Theres also the thermalright heatsinks which are fantastic coolers also, you add your own fan so you deside what noise level , CFM etc..

as said before you can overclock a bit with p4's on stock cooling
i have a 2.4 @ 3 no problem with stock cooling

i'd recommend this over the jet 7 and don't mind the fact that its not the pure copper version the almost doubling of the price for the copper version gives little if any peformance increase

i second loki's thermalright suggestion if you have the cash, i think the high end version for p4's is the sp-94. however though you have a 533mhz p4 which afaik don't overclock as well as the 800mhz variants so it might not be worth your while forking out for a 70 euro cooling set up when you'll probably achieve similar results for the one for 20
