I assume the other processor you're purchasing is a socket 478 as well? Keep in mind "newer" P4's were LGA775. Why are you upgrading a P4?

I have an XP-90c(all copper) w/ a thermaltake 9cm blue LED fan mounted to it. Had it on a couple different OC'd s939 machines, just sitting in my parts cabinet now. Amazing cooler in it's day.

But the Mugen 2 isn't expensive.
It's $37, outperforms that cooler by a massive amount, and is compatible with current sockets as well.

I would just get the one I linked to and save your money. No sense in putting a bunch of money into an out dated system. |

In the case that he should get a new system anytime soon (eg. ~1year), chances are the Mugen 2 will work on that system as well.
By the way, the Dell cooler you linked to does not appear to come with a fan.

A fan would cost him some money as well.

Does it really need something that extreme? Absolutely not. |

Good point about the cooler being able to be used in a new system though.
P.S. Mine has NO FAN on it either and still runs cool. Believe it or not. When I crack the case open... I was like "Huh?"

The Xp-90 was made for socket 478... and cools way better than Af7 Pro for the same amount of money.
