Post over in cases and cooling, not here. There are a bunch of posts there already on the subject so just do a search.

Zalman CNPS7000A-AlCu/Cu, Thermaltake Silent Boost for mid-high range.

Thermalright SLK-948U, Alpha PAL 8150T, Swiftech MCX-64/6400-V w/ good Panaflo fan for high end cooling

Welcome to AnandTech, BTW

The one included in the retail box is adequate.

Ahh sorry for posting in the wrong forum.

And Thanks for the help =P

retail box is fine, though personally I'd probably be going for a Zalman AlCu or one of the Thermalright 'sinks with a panaflo/NMB fan on top.
