This is my current setup
P4 Prescott, 3.2 GHz w/ stock Intel HS+Fan.
Abit AG8 3rd-Eye MoBo
1 GB TwinMOS DDR RAM
Asus Radeon X700 Pro.
Creative SB Live! 1024 Sound Card.
NEC DVD-RW ND-3500AG.
Maxtor 200 GB SATA HDD
Seagate 250 GB SATA HDD.
Thermaltake sViking Case. w/ stock 120mm case-fans.
The noisiest fan is by far the stock one from Intel. Under load the fan gets really loud.
So I've been thinking about upgrading to a really good HS, and I've looked around SPCR a bit and found a few options.
The Thermalright Ultra 120, Scythe Ninja and a few others. But the thing is, I'm not sure whether or not these will actually fit with my motherboard.
I think that the Ultra 120 will fit if I replace my northbridge fan with the Revoltec Northbrigde one. But I would like some input on this, since I really don't want to waste money on something that won't fit.
Best option for CPU HS?

If this is your mobo, then I think any of the HSF's you listed would work.
