AMD, I'm a little stunned, based on Ajigo's own recommendations.
See, the fan I got with my 6400+ was intended for cooling up to an Athlon X2 4800+. (Based simply on THIS documentation.) Funnily, this leads me to realize why I was having problems decently cooling my system - this guy just isn't totally up to snuff.
Soooooo...after careful consideration, I've decided to go with this HSF: The Zalman CNPS8700 LED 2 Ball CPU Cooler. In addition to adding even more blue fun to my case, it's supposedly good for all Athlon X2 processors on the AM2 board. Should be fun to test it out. In addition, I'm considering getting some cooling for the Northbridge as well seeing as it's running really warm as well.
