Is this a good CPU fan?
I was looking at the Tt Spark 7 for my P4. I don't know how to say this but; "How good is it?"

I'd stick with the stock Intel heatsink for a P4.
Are you planning on extreme overclocking? That's about the only time you'd need to use a different heatsink. The stock P4 heatsink can handle overclocking easily. The stock P4 heatsink is also very quiet where the Tt Spark 7 will more be on the noisy side.  Cricket

Lol, I have never seen an Intel builder with such worries over cooling their CPU!
You shouldn't worry about temps. The stock cooler is fine as Cricket said. Even with extreme overclocking the P4 won't get above 40 C. Bailey has a 600 mhz overclock and he is using stock cooling I think. His temps are 30 C.The BEST heatsink and fan are the SLK-900U and a Vantec Tornado 119 CFM. Most fans are only 75 CFM.
