looking to squeeze some more MHz outta my mobile 2500+, any suggestions? Right now I have the original Swifteck MC-462 heatsink with a delta 80CFM fan.
 
Gigabyte make a really nice All Copper Cooler:

You've pretty much got the best of the best as far as air cooling. Maybe a newer swiftech or thermal right would give you a degree or two C, but the next step is really water cooling or something more extreme. You could try a pelt on that heatsink probably, but water would be easier.
 
Deadlierchair is pretty much dead on. I have a SP-97 w/Vantec Tornado on my 2500+ @ 2.4GHz. On load it gets upto 40C and doesn't go any higher with a case temp fo 24C. Most high performence heatsinks are going to be within +/- 2C of this so it's kinda pointless unless you REALLY need that extra 2C of cooling.. :D
 
well thanks for the replies...will the Swiftech MCX462-V give me anymore significant cooling performance than what I have now?
