The standard cooling is absolutely horrid! especially if it is attached with a thermal pad! IMO cooling is worth the investment, the best that your budget can afford. You will not get far on the OEM heat sink and fan.

I would agree somewhat. With AMD's newer heatsinks with the copper plate if you take it off, clean of their thermal past, sand it smooth on a flat surface with 400grit paper, apply your own past in between the copper plate and the aluminum heatsink, reattach the plate, then apply your own past between the cpu and heatsink, you will get at least 5-10% better coolong with it. I have done this many times and it works great. But like robrowe said the thermal pad must go.
