I am wanting to know what is the best on the market heatsink and fan combo...for socket 939 or intel
 
I think your gonna hear xp-120 a lot. Pick your own fan for silence or performance or somewhere in the middle. Some people say it's close to what you can get with wc with the right fan. Go to Thermalright website and see if it fits your motherboard.
 
xp120 with a 130cfm fan = any W/C setup
the xp90 copper is decent as well
xp90 copper: http://www.xoxide.com/thermalright-xp-90c-cpu-cooler.html
xp120: http://www.xoxide.com/thermalright-xp-120-cpu-cooler.html
check to see if the 120 will fit your motherboard: http://www.thermalright.com/support_default.htm
if it wont, check out the si120: http://www.xoxide.com/thermalright-si-120.html

the NINJA is a nice heat sink, but it is HUGE

I have to go with the ninja...oh wait, I already did :p

Ninja + Yate Loon 120mm + x2 3800 @ 2.4 (1.4v) = 28c idle, 50c load on both cores

If you dont mind louder fans you can do a lot better than that.

Of course I only have great things to say about zalman, always top notch quality from them.
