I am trying to figure out what a good heatsink/fan would be for a Athlon II 630 to upgrade from the stock. CPU's in the mail right now so I don't know if the stock will be ok, but I read that it is noisy somewhat. I prefer silent systems.
I am not looking to spend a great deal of money and do not intend to do much if any overclocking since it is only a business system.
MSI 870A-G54 AM3 AMD 870 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX

The board seems to be able to overclock fairly easy, so if there is a heatsink that is low priced and able to cool ok I may consider it. But it's not a goal. The big thing is low cost and quiet operation. It's just sort of confusing sometimes on newegg as to which are ok for AM3 mounts. It's not easily filtered since there are a lot of AM2+ or whatnots that when you read them they say they actually fit AM3 and a few AM2+/AM3 that said in the comments wouldn't actually fit a AM3...
I already have the AS5 ordered, so that's covered.
Thanks for any help!
