I would say the big ass heatsink and fan from Coolmaster. The Orbs are better than stock but not all that great if you really want to get all the performance you can out of your CPU

Go with the FOP32 or FOP38, don't try to go cheap on the cooling on either of these chips as they typically run hot anyway.
