Hey steven,
I use an SK-6 with 27 CFM Sunnon fan on my XP-1800+ running at 1610 MHz. My temps never go over 42 C load (measured by a DD5 thermal probe mounted in a hole in the base of the heatsink). I do have good case cooling (typically 2 C over ambient) and room temps around 23 C.
If it will fit on your mobo I would also recommend the AX-7 with a nice quiet 80mm fan (Panaflow H1A maybe).
It also sounds like you might need some better case cooling. If your internal case temps are more than about 10 C over ambient then some additional fans may be in order. They don't have to be high RPM, loud ones. Having two or three low CFM quiet fans can be just as effective at moving cool air thru your case as one high RPM, loud fan.
What is your ave room temp?
Good luck
