Help me find a good HSF for AM2's to keep in stock.

I am looking for a hsf to keep in stock to replace bad hsf's on AMD AM2 and AM2+ cpu's.
I am looking for stock cooling ability or a little more, quiet, easy to install AND has a 4 pin fan, with an adapter for 3 pin connector if possible. Ease of install a plus, must be installable without removing the mobo from the case
Darn, I can't seem to find a decent one like the Masscools I used for Socket A.
Anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks
 
Is the stock hsf too noisy or not good enough cooling for you?

If that's adequate, just look on eBay, people sell those things all the time for a few dollars (just watch the shipping charges, heh).

Denithor - I think OP's just looking for a replacement, a just in case kind of thing.

Here's this on Newegg can't tell if it's 4 pin though.

 
Search for AMD copper heatsink on ebay and you'll find the stock heatsink that came with the x2 6000 for $12.50 shipped. It has heatpipes so it's very good performing for a stock heatsink.

Well, there are three wires in the pic.
Darn, can't find a reasonably priced, 4 pin hsf for an AM2.
