Lapped pressure modded TRUE w/ a 38mm fan. For something more quiet get a Noctua.

TRUE's come stock with a bolt through kit.
I agree as well though. A lapped TRUE with decent push/pull dual fans that is pressure modded (I use rubber washers off the back of the motherboard, creates much more even pressure) is still the best cooler available.

Using increasing levels of fine wet/dry sandpaper to even out the concave in most TRUE's contact surfaces. Easy to do (and cheap). Provides a big improvement.

Is there anywhere I can get a guide to doing that setup?
And could I get links to the specific TRUE and Noctua? Thanks.

Lapping is mis perceived as hard and time consuming.
It really isn't. I did my TRUE in about 2 hours (off and on). Cost me about $12 in sand paper (1 sheet each of 400/800/1200/1600/2000 grit wet dry).
The results are easily noticeable
Here are the first five slides I took:
