    Depends on your budget.

    Arctic cooler freezer pro 7 is probably one of the best bang for buck.

    Right at the other end of the scale you could go for a TRUE, either the standard, black edition, or copper edition.

    I doubt you would have any issues using stock cooling, apart from the noise it generates. I'd say go for any cheap heatsink with 12cm low speed fan. AC freezer 7 is one of the great options.

    Socket 939? For low profile I think Zalman CNPS8000 is a good choice.

    Which case is it you have?

    Poseidon Magma: MSI P45 Zilent ¦ E6300@3.0ghz - Coolermaster Hyper 212 (MX-2) ¦ Corsair 2x2gb (880mhz @ 5-5-5-15) ¦ Corsair HX450w ¦
