fx-55 cooler recommendation

Hi - Can anyone recommend a good cooler for an AMD fx-55 cpu? I
originally ordered the OEM set but it went on backorder and I opted for
the snatch-an-grab packaging instead.
The way the cooler mounts to the motherboard is kinda funky too. The
motherboard is here:

Thanks for any help,
Chubbs

Two very good ones are -

Thanks,
I ordered before I had a chance to read your post - just to follow up,
I went
with this beast. It fit fine on the gigabyte board, and the fx55 runs
around 100 deg. F. (iirc).
