I am going to be updating my Heatsink, As my CPU is running a little hot....
has anyone got any recommendations for what I should go for? (i've got a pentium IV 3 GHZ processor)??

There seems to be some concensus around here that an 80mm fan setup is a good choice. The second suggestion would be to lap the heatsink.
Here's a link to the process:

Any sink from Thermalright is a good choice.

I agree with the author of the above post. I Have the SLK-947U and it keeps my CPU under 30C idle and under 40C playing games like UT2004 and DOD with the fan turned up :D
