My recommendation, don't use one. Go passive.

You think a passive one would keep it cool enough using stock volts?

If you aren't using tall ram I'd recommend the Scythe Big Shuriken. If you happen to need more cooling with that and if you have enough room you can put a regular thickness 120mm fan on it too.

OCing the CPU nowadays is quite pontless as most tasks are handled by the GPU (gaming, HD, video encoding/decoding, etc). The only point I see in OCing the CPU is for better benchmark scores which really doesn't reflect real world performance.
