I'm putting together an AMD XP 1800+ system with a Soyo Dragon+ motherboard which will go into an Antec SX840 case. I have read in a few places that the RAM placement and some of the capacitors on this MB get in the way of some of the bigger heat-sink/fan combos. Can somebody recommend a good, and relatively quiet, HSF that works good for this motherboard? I'm not a hardcore overclocker, but this machine will be running 24/7 so I would like to keep it as cool as possible.

Thanks!
 
I use the thermalright sk6, an all copper heatsink with generic fan. I ordered just the heatsink from coolermaster for $25, then selected a generic 60mm case fan, model 625, that runs at 4500 rpm and 1.9 cfm. Total cost with shipping about $39. You can also get adjustable fans such as panflo, that permit you to adjust the rpm to any speed you like.
