Which heat sink?

[sphfaros]

I'm getting an AMD64 San Diego 3700+ and I don't excatly plan on overclocking much if at all. Should I stay with stock heat sink or look into something better. What's out there with quality?

If you don't plan on overclocking or anything, the stock fan is good enough.
If you've got extra money lying around, get a Thermalright XP-90 with a low speed panaflo, an XP-120 with a Yale Loon or Nexus or even a Zalman 7700Cu/AlCu.

The stock HSF is loud.

Thermaltake XP-120 or XP-90C
