AMD retail heatsink

Does anyone have a picture of the heatsink that AMD includes with the retail Athlon 64 3000/3200/3500 winchesters?
A qualitative description would be good too:
Copper core? Copper contact sheet? All copper?
60 or 80mm fan? Fan height?
 
Thanks.
Man that thing looks weak. I guess if I want to overclock I better get something better. OEM winchesters are pretty rare these days, so I had to settle for retail.

you would be suprised. I hear people can hit 2.6 on the retail heatsink
 
I got mine, and it is a 70mm fan, not 60mm. It is actually performing very well. The CPU's copper heatspreader is acting like a copper core for the aluminum heatsink.

sounds like they have beefed up the stock HSF's.
