My system temperature's running about 22C idle but the CPU with the stock HSF is 51C. From other other forums here it looks like the best choice is Thermaltake Volcano 11 or 12 or Thermalright SLK-800 or 900... but this is just a heatsink, right? What fan do people recommend with them? Many thanks!

yeah man, thermaltake is the way to go, i have a Thermaltake Silentboost A1889-01 (http://www.thermaltake.com/coolers/volcano/rs/a1889b.htm) right now, and my 2500+ OCed to 3200+ never went over 47C, whenever i play Half Life 2 or World of Warcraft the temp is usually around 42C-43C, but if your really aiming for a good HSF go for one of these 2 http://www.thermaltake.com/coolers/comboCool/a2144Polo735/polo735.htm either that one or.. this one.. http://www.thermaltake.com/coolers/cl-p0025/cl-p0025silentTower.htm
one of those would be more than enough
