Just use the stock heat sink, using anything else will void the warranty.

you wont really need a better heatsink, unless you want extreeme overclocking, if you do, then try zalmans heatsinks, very good quality.

Then you're better off with the stock heat sink. It keeps your limited warranty on the processor.
