If you are not going to be crazy overclocking, the the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro should be good enough even for a small overclock. The OCZ Vendetta is ok as well but you have to be a bit careful with applying the thermal compound with the exposed heatpipe thing.
The Model M is not for the faint of heart. You either like them or hate them.

I've used a Core Contact Freezer by Sunbeam before. I really liked that cooler, but unfortunately lost the S775 mounting bracket.
I'm currently using an ASUS Lion Square. It does a good job keeping my 9450 cool at 3.6 GHz. If it works well for this chip, it'll probably work well for your situation. I got it for $10 AR, but I don't know what it is normally.

Well I couldn't wait and wanted to test the proccessor out.
I bought this fan at best buy

It seems to work fairly well. What celsius temps do these normally see at load and idle?
