I just put together a new AMD62X2 AM2 system, and have been *quite*
impressed with the cooler that I purchased:

http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16835128009

There was a bit of an installation problem on the motherboard that I
have (if you look at the 3rd and 4th pictures on Newegg, you'll see
there are two little metal tabs sticking out on each side of the
bracket at the top of the picture - I had to actually grind those off
to get the cooler to install into the MSI K9N6PGM-F motherboard), but
have been very happy - the fan's maximum speed is 2000 rpm, it is very
quiet (very bright LEDs, but if you can live with that), and does an
excellent job cooling the CPU - I've not seen the CPU rise more than 1
degree above room temperature yet, even under heavy load....

HTH-
