Yeah, unless you're really into silent systems or overclocking, the stock
fan is fine for this processor. Been running for over a year now on mine

I am very impressed by the SPEEZE - 5F286B from NewEgg. $13 including
shipping. I have recently replaced two AMD stock fans (the first 6 weeks
ago on an AMD 2200 and another two days ago on an AMD 2700). The temp of
both CPUs dropped by 6-8 degrees.

It has an 80 mm fan that runs slow and quiet. It is heavier than the
stock fan and wider at the top. I had no trouble installing it but there
may be a motherboard out there that it will not fit.
