Well how bout lets write it already. I'm not getting any younger, lol. :p
I haven't seen a Tom's cooler roundup in a while. What is a good cooler/heatsink for the athlon 64 3200+. Are the athlon 64s pretty cool with the stock fan/heatsink combos?

Athlon64's stock is enough to handle 1.65Vcore stabily.

A good heatsink that's easy to install would be Thermaltake Venus 12, a great one would be the Thermalright SLK948U. The Coolermaster Hyper6 is also a great cooler.
