The guys at the [H] have posted a roundup of seven air coolers built for AMD's AM2 platform. They include the stock cooler to give you an idea of how they all stack up to one another. A good read if you're looking for a modest cooling upgrade for your new AM2.

"Surprisingly, out of all of these products, none were bad products, simply some shined over others when it comes down to doing the job of cooling. As noted by the tightly graphed temperatures above, air cooling is about more than cooling now days."
