As the title suggests, I'm looking for a 478 cooler that i can put on my server (i.e. running 24/7)

It's a 2.8Ghz P4, in an Asus TA-212 if you need clearance ideas, i don't know what make/model of mobo it is though although i could measure if needed.

Just looking for recommendation's and what to avoid or get.

Thanks a lot :)
 
I have a Zalman CNPS7700-Cu on my 2.8Ghz P4 (northwood c) which is overclocked by 420mhz and runs at 32-33c idle - running it on the lowest fan setting the "fan mate 2" it comes with lets me (953rpm).

However its a rather large heatsink, as its 120mm fan which is mounted towards the motherboard. I am also not sure if you would be able to find it anymore as there are newer models out.

<edit>

OcUK stock the 92mm fan version which is rated 18.0 ~ 27.5 dB (depending on which you set the fan mate controller to)

this cooler is also meant to be quite good, and is quite cheap;

Thermalright SP94 was always the best 478 cooler, when the socket came to the end of its life cycle, however the Big Typhoon, Scythe Ninja etc etc all retro fit 478, so theyll be better choices, unless you find an old HSF cheap :)
