AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE HSF?

[thepwnerofnoobs]

What would be a good HSF for my Phenom II x4 955 BE? I was thinking about the Cooler Master V8, but it looked pretty giant and I wasn't sure if it was going to fit in my Antec 902 Case, or if it was going to block up some RAM slots on my motherboard.
I might overclock in the future, but right now I'm just looking for something that would keep my CPU cool.

Thanks,
Daniel

Here is a link to a very good web site with a lot of useful information about cpu heatsinks:

You can use the Google embedded search feature at the web site to find more information about heatsinks for specific cpu sockets.

For what it's worth I suggest staying away from the Scythe Katana3. Got my 955 to 62 in about 10 minutes
