Currently, I can get my 2.4c up to around 3ghz before it starts getting unstable/high temps, with stock intel cooler. I would like to try and go further, so I plan on buying a cooler. I am torn between the Zalman 7000A AlCu (cheapest), Zalman 7000A Cu (more expensive, not sure how much of a difference there is between this and AlCu), and the SP94 with a tornado (heard some good things about this, but it is hideously expensive). At first, I was just going to get the AlCu Zalman, but after hearing about the praises of the SP94, I am wondering if the price difference is worth it?
 
the ALCU will give you about 1-2C higher temps

its like 300grams lighter though which is good becasue its already above the intel spe'd wieght. id go with the ALCU, i just bought one and its on the way. itll give you really similar temps and be a helluva lot lighter
 
You will be very satisfied with the Zalman 7000alcu version. Handles my overclocked P4 with ease.
 
Check your temps If at 3ghz temps are not rising this may not be the instable factor. Maybe your chip as hit a wall.
