Can anyone recommend a place and which fan would be good for my heatsink? I am trying to cool an overclocked amd64 3500.
 
Here's one: Nidec You will probably want to use the mobo's (or a manual) fan controller on this one as it certainly won't need to be used a full speed.

And allelectronics.com usually has several decent brands.

Sidewindercomputers.com has a good selection too and decent prices. Their delta triple blade low speed (38mm) looks like a good one for CPU use.

The heatsink is a coolmaster hyper 48. Im looking for something wih some real flow. Ill check out those sites thanks.

I was wrong. I looked at the package and its only a 90mm fan. I want something like 80cfm.

Vantec tornado then lol? i think 80 cfm is too much, i think there is no gain after 50 cfm and you probably don't even need 50.
 
90 and 92 mm are used interchangeably - they are the same and to be accurate it's a 3.25" fan anyway (mounting holes - along one side, on center) or 4 5/8" across the diameter, on center. Any of the ones I listed in my first post would be fine for you. Just be careful, most mobo fan headers can't handle more than 400-500 milliAmps anyway. Any more than that and you'll have to hook straight to PSU or through a separate fan controller.

Second on the Delta Triple Blade Low Speed from sidewinder. The design will give you less of a dead spot in the middle of the heatsink.

One thing though, I don't know if that heatsink holds the fan on with spring clips or screws...if it's screws, you'd have to replace them if using the DTB, the stock fan is 25mm thick whereas the DTB is 38mm thick. Should be able to find the same size screws at your local Ace, Lowe's or Home Depot though.

Edit: when ordering from sidewinder, or anyplace for fans, look through the rest of the site for things like screws, sleeving, etc. so you can pad your order to save on shipping.
