Default Reccomend a good CPU fan/heatsink

Hey everybody,
I just built a new computer for myself. I purchased an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro for CPU cooling. However, it did not fit my new motherboard, a Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 with Socket AM2. I have an Athlon 64 X2 5000+ in the socket. Thankfully, it came with it's own fan/heatsink which i will use temporarily.

So, can anyone reccomend me a good fan/heatsink that will fit that mobo, socket and CPU? I would like a link to Newegg if you can find one.

Thanks in advance!

You got the wrong version of that heatsink.

Here's the AM2 version: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835185125

You can also get the Scythe Ninja and run it passively.
