A $70 HSF for a $170 CPU...AMD is in the wrong business! :laugh:

xigmatec S1283 or its successors should do nicely for less that 50 bucks.

OCZ Vendetta 2. Like the xigmatek s-1283, it's a great bang for buck, very quiet, not very heavy and performed better or equal to a TRUE but much cheaper. At the time is ranked #1 or #2 is most reviews. In case things have changed since I bought m V2 I would point you the one of the best sources:

Frostytech is also good. PS did anyone else discover Frostytech by mispelling "anandtech.com" in your address bar? LOL
