Bought a new heatsink ... need a fan

I'm running an LGA775 3.2ghz P4 and just bought a new Swiftech heatsink for it:
http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProduc...108-062&depa=1

It doesn't come with a fan and I didn't purchase one yet as I'm a little confused as to what type of fan I should buy for it.

My motherboard is an ASUS P5AD2-E Premium and the CPU fan monitor is a 4-pin insert (the stock P4 heatsink/fan uses the 4-pin wire to monitor cpu fan speed as well). After looking at some fans on newegg I can only find fans with 3-pin chassis fans.

Can someone suggest a good CPU fan to use with this heatsink? I need it to be 80x80x25 and it needs to be at least 30 CFM (more would be nice as I'm thinking about overclocking my chip).

I'm pretty new to fan speeds (and all the other fan specs) so any additional info to look out for would be great!

Thanks,
kisk
