The major problem is the CPU doesn't have a heatspreader, just like a mobile A64. Which aftermarket heatsink will fit well, without leaving a gap in between?

Any bolt-down heatsink would work really. Or, you could cut off the nubs on the plastic bracket around the CPU socket to lower it and then a standard clip-on heatsink like the stock sink would fit fine then. I have one I did that to around here someplace, I could take a pic of what I mean once I find it...

With a Zalman 7000-Alcu, you have to remove the black cage anyway. So, you can actually see from the side that it's directly on there.
