Replacing fan on stock AMD AM3 heatsink with a quieter one? [closed]

Replacing fan on stock AMD AM3 heatsink with a quieter one? [closed] I've recently built a new PC which includes the AM3 Phenom II x4 955 Black Edition processor.

"Apparently the stock heatsink uses a standard 80mm fan. One of the quietest fans you can get is a Nexus 80mm PWM Silent Case Fan. Most likely, you'll need a 4pin PWM an so the motherboard can control the fan speed. Nexus makes their Silent Fans in other sizes as well.

Does it look like this?"

Something like the Zalman CNPS9900 will fit your socket type perfectly. It is very quiet and should do a MUCH better job cooling your processor than the stock cooler.
