AMD compatable cooler

[Hairy_Lee]

I'm looking out for an aftermarket cooler for my skt 754 athlon64 3700+; however, i want one that is compatable with the cooler retention bracket found on modern athlon boards. i want a cooler that is better than the stock cooler but doesn't require me to modify my motherboard in any way

how much u willing to pay? the zalman 7700 or 7000 are very good

so do you not have to remove the cooler retention bracket from the motherboard to use this cooler?
