I was able to get it to drop to around 61c or so under a load by adding another case fan. Still obnoxiously loud with that 6000 RPM fan.

My 3.06 didn't come with a pad, just a syringe of thermal paste (no brand marked on it).

I found some decent review sites with some reviews of socket 478 coolers this evening. I finally ordered a Vantech Aeroflow as the reviews seemed to indicate its what I'm looking for. Its not the top of the line super-enthusiast cooler, but it seems near the top of the pack and always got high marks for being quiet which is my first priority. Seemed like the best compromise.

And I just knew someone had to get an AMD plug in there somewhere

Acutally the game I'm testing is multi-threaded so that made the choice of the 3.06 HT pretty easy in this case.
