Zalman 7000a ... or a little more and get the all copper one because it cools better ( copper transfers heat better than aluminum. )

You can get a thermaltake volcano 8, they are really great at cooling i have one on my computer right now, they can cool up to a 2800, i got mine for about 15 bucks.

Yes, it is supported... im not sure what socket a is... must be something athalon... but its a 462 socket cpu and is therefore supported by this model...

The thermaltake volcano 7+ is a a great multispeed HSF. Its a bit loud but its very nice.

Dont forget some thermal paste when you order your heatsink, i recommend Arctic Silver 5. No point having a good cooler with rubbish thermal paste hey?
