Looking for a heatsink for my 146, i'm going to run it on the stock one for now but plan on upgrading in the future.
 
Did your cpu happen to come with this exact heatsink: http://www.madshrimps.be/?action=getarticle&number=1&artpage=1596&articID=399 (?)

It has to have an "H" shaped copper base and 4 heatpipes coming out on the same side, not to be confused with other similar stock heatsinks.

If it's that exact heatsink then you may want to stick with it because it's as good as an XP-90 as per that madshrimps review.

If anybody's interested in that XP-90 equivalent there's a fella on ebay selling them for $15 shipped, careful if shopping around because there's other merchants selling similar, but less effective ones.

If you want a higher end aftermarket heatsink, but pay a higher price for it obviously, the XP-120 or Scythe Ninja are both great heatsinks. The 120mm fan on the XP-120 blowing downwards can cool other motherboard components, ie ram and mosfeats. But the Ninja is one of the top pure performance heatsinks, runs exceptionally better when paired with a lower cfm fan, so it works better on a quiet fan then a noiser fan.
 
Recommend the XP-120/SI-120, both very good performers. The SI is compatible with more boards than the XP.
