Phenom II heatsinks
I'll be getting a Phenom II X3 720+ GA-MA790XT-UD4P and I've looking into some aftermarket HSF to cool it and so far this Zalman is what I have my eye on

Its under $60(let alone $50) and free shipping. So is it a good purchase? What else can yo guys recommended that isn't too expensive(or too big)?
Also that HSF has a 3pin connector, I'm not sure if thats going to be a problem or not. The motherboard compatibility list on Zalmans is from 3 years ago, but socket AM3 isn't much different from AM2 right? My first time building a AMD system.
Thanks in advance.
