Check out 'Blue Orb II'. Its 140mm diameter doesnt fit all MBs so check that out but this thing really cools!

I run the Blue Orb II on my AMD 9850 black box edition and it's great!  My CPU temp is at 41 C degrees under heavy load.  It is huge though.

All the Best...

I use http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835101018 and this thing works better than I thought it would.   I also like the mounting system as it uses screws INSTEAD of clips.   It is keeping the CPU at 33 degrees C and I have it's 92mm fan blowing out into the 120mm fan in the back of my case.

I Realize I'm late and after the fact, but here are my .02

If you have the space and the money I'd say http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118019

IMHO Zalman is one of, if not, the best brand for fans and cooling equipment. Today that one is on sale for $56 not likely people will catch this in time too buy it, but thats a steal for such a good cooler. But that is one big bastage of a Heat sync so make sure you have room.

Also go for Arctic Silver for your paste, I prefer http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835100012 Its a non-glue thermal paste.

I've tried to get the link to work several times, it just won't.
Thermaltake / TMG i1 / Socket 775 / Copper Base / CPU Cooler

This is one monster cooler, even with the large case I have, only @ 1/2 inch clearance to the side panel.
