What is a good Overclocking Heatsink for an FX-55?

Hi all,
I am helping a friend build his new rig, and he decided to go all out and get an FX-55 and we are going to OC the heck out of it. What do you guys recommend for a HSF for this beast?
 
Water cool it.
Koolance Exos AL
Koolance CPU-300-H06 Water Block $49
Highest temp I have at load is 53c, and I'm cooling the video card as well.
The main system and water block are on Newegg.
Then you need an FX Adapter on the Koolance site that sells for $6.95, or you bend the adapter you get with the water block like I did.

I'm not sure about the watercooling as he didn't sound too interested in it and this will be an SLI rig(he decided to go dual 6800GTs). My friends and I do a lot of LAN parties so he will be lugging it around sometimes so I am not sure if watercooling would be right for this rig. Out of curiosity, what speed are you getting out of that FX-53? Is the Exos holding back your OCing compared to a internal water cooling setup?
 
What DAPUNISHER picked if he wants aircooling, otherwise if your gunna oc something that expensive, i'd stay safe and get a nice WC setup.
