Hello, thinking of getting a new heatsink for my Phenom II X3 720, as it can unlock and I wanna see how high I can get it. I don't feel safe doing it on the stock cooler, so what would be the best possible heatsink? I don't want to have to remove everything from my system to do it, but if there's no real point to upgrading on the stock backplate, I might just have to.
xiggy's do, might wanna look into the xigmatek s1283, or others. It is really simple, they give you a bar with a latch, and mounts ontop of the coolers base onto the am3 bracket edges.

Do you know if Dark Knight would be like this?

Yes, I know this, but installing a better HS over the stock backplate would still be better than the stock heatsink, correct?
