Got an Abit IS7 and P4 3.0c running at stock speeds. What do you all recommend for a good HSF to replace the stock Intel one?

Also, my NB fan is conking out on me so I'd like some suggestions for a good replacement. Perhaps a passive cooling system so I don't have to worry about the fan going bad on me.

Of course, please try to keep these within a limit. I'm not a hardcore PC gamer who OCs stuff. I just want my system to run stable. Thanks.

Assuming its a socket 478... I have had this one and it worked swell. It is a bit insane though, but it is nice :)

Yeah, it's socket 478. I was mainly hoping someone would have the same mobo. Worried about the clearances between the CPU HSF and the NB HS I'd be getting since they're so close on the board.

And the NB fan on the board now is held down by hooks. Gotta cut 'em off which is worrying me.
