    Which AM2 Heatsink?

    I am thinking of getting rid of my stock heatsink that came with my AM2 CPU and changing it for a different one.

    Now, my preferences are i want a heatsink that is a good cooler and looking around the net preferably one that can use a 120mm fan?

    There are quite a few to choose from though!! I need some advice as to what to go for. I haven't a clue! Be nice to have one where the fan can be quiet.

    What case are you currently using? Some of the coolers won't fit due to height issues.
