I've got the eVGA version of the reference nforce 590 AM2 board. I've been hitting a FSB wall around 236 with it and I was thinking about using a lower multi to get well over 3.0GHz once I get my hands on my 5600+. I saw in the anandtech review of the Foxconn board that they had to add a fan to the passive cooler, which enabled them to hit ~320FSB with the board.
I would prefer not to add any fans, since I'm trying to conserve PSU cables and the board itself has very few fan headers. What's a decent passive heatsink that will offer better performance than the stock passive black aluminum thing? I have been looking at the Thermalright HR-05 but I'm not sure if it will fit properly. I'm using a Zalman 9500 on the CPU.
