Cooler advice

[magunn]

I want to cool a Phenom ii x4 955 and since that is an AM3 chip I assume that the cooler must be AM3 or will AM2+ be ok

Which cooler less than £40 ish would you advise. I do not intend to overclock much but may tinker a bit. Total novice so need one that is easy to fit and relatively idiot proof

Thanks for the info but I cannot find many coolers that specify AM2+ or AM3 many say AM2. Can anyone confirm that a cooler designed for AM2 will or will not fit an AM3.
