Thermalright heatsinks are fairly well respected amongst those who 
overclock for their cooling abilities.  When I had an Athlon XP 1600+, I 
had a Thermalright SLK-800 heatsink on it which took 80mm fans (and a 
couple of small sizes as well apparently).  I had a low speed 80mm Sunon 
fan on it that was relatively quiet and pushed a fair amount of air 
(enough to keep my CPU under 55 degrees even under full load on hot 
summer days here - Broome).

It was rather expensive though (around $100 with a fan at the time).  It 
was heavy though, being all copper.
