Also, the Scythe Ninja, Zalman 9500, Zalman 9700, and Thermaltake Big Typhoon are good heatsinks. They just aren't quite as good as the two that Nickel020 mentioned.

Just for reference, any Socket 754\939\940 heatsink will work.

it appears that I do not have a lot of room on the motherboard as there are a bank of capacitors and the memory slots are right there next to the heatsink that is on there now

i love my zalman products. If you do not have much room i recommend the Zalman 7000Cu. If you do have Room then you could go with 7700 or the 9500 or even the 9700 all made by zalman. you will spend 60 buck for the 9700 though, but it gets the job done! Also you will spend about 30 bucks for the 7000 and all the other products fall in the middle of 30-60 bones.

Google for the manufacturer's websites, they usually have compatability lists.
