yeah yeah I know, the answer is obvious - the 8045...BUT....
my motherboard (Giga-Byte GA-7DXR) is listed in the unsupported motherboards list, not exactly unsupported but....:
paste from Alpha's website:
NOTE: The PAL8045 will fit the 7DXR board without modification:). However:(, it will contact one of the board's capacitors, POSSIBLY damaging it. Rounding an edge of the base with a DREMEL or other tool could be a possible solution. This would, however, make you heat sink non-returnable. Due to these issues, we consider the use of the PAL8045 on this board a "Use at your own risk application."Pleas see Photo for reference.

What would you get, if you were instead of me ?
Thanks in advance,
