Need cooling advice

I've been using stock AMD coolers for years. I currently have a 3800 x2 on stock cooling. I just ordered a 5000 Black Edition, since I think it suits me better than the Phenoms coming out, for right now. I am looking for advice on cooling, as I intend to OC it. I'd like something that's quiet, and preferably something that doesn't bolt through the motherboard, but uses the original bracket. Any advice is appreciated.

Thank you 🙂
 
The best heatsink that uses the stock bracket is the Scythe Ninja Rev. B. About the only other decent heatpipe that uses the stock bracket is the Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro.
