I have the hyper 212, which is the big brother to the TX2, on a Q6600 @3.6 and it works wonders, but you do have to mount it before you put in the mobo. There are alot of choices to be had even though they dont say they support it most am2 compatible ones that are a tower style will work well

edit: are you looking to overclock
