Yeah that will fit.

I think they come with paste on them already, just take the clear plastic off and install to mobo. Clean the old paste off the CPU first though.

If you dont get that, then the Zalman CNPS9000 series is great. Took my temps 10C down with the stuff that came with it.

My Tuniq Tower 120 (with AS5) took the temps on my C2D down about 15C full load from what they were with the stock intel HSF with AS5. The tuniq is compatible with AM2 i believe, double check. Its 55 or 60 on FrozenCPU tho. It is quite large, but I can confirm it fits in the NZXT Apollo, as thats what i have :D
