recommend me a cooler

Would I benefit much from a different cooler than the stock AMD heatpipe job you get with the 165 opterons?
Im after something silent and which will allow me to overclock further.

- Scythe Ninja Plus (probably the best air cooler you can buy)
- Thermaltake Big Typhoon
- ThermalRight SI-120
- Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro

Any of them should be better than the stock cooler

The stock cooler on the 165 is actually very good - there was a review of it against some others and it won or came very close iirc. Will try and find the review.

Not the one I remember but
