My gadget loving self couldn't stay away from the heatsink I bought a while back, especially when I found the one I wanted back then on sale for halfprice in a local store
As you can see, this things a monster, barely clears my graphics card, but it dropped CPU temp by 9C idle and load. hasn't broken 35 at idle nor 48 at load, so I think it was definitely worth it. Anyone that has "all AMD Sempron (Socket 754), AMD Athlon 64 up to 5000+, AMD Athlon 64 up to FX-59, AMD Opteron" should look into it, if you aren't thinking about watercooling.
