Will you be overclocking or no?

Yes.

Here ya go: Thermalright TRUE Copper Ultra-120 eXtreme CPU Cooler

Compatibility

• INTEL: Supports Intel Core 2 extreme and any Socket 775 Processor
• All Intel LGA1366 processors (Optional LGA1366 Bolt Kit Product Option Required)
• AMD: Supports AMD Phenom X4 and any Socket AM2 & AM2+ Processor

Doesn't look like that's compatible with the AMD Phenom II X4...

AM3's retention bracket is identical to that of AM2 and AM2+.

Ah okay. About how much do you think that'll affect my CPU temp under full load?

 

[Whyfly??]

Eh I'm thinking just a few degrees.
Don't expect it to drop like 20 degrees.
I'm thinking maybe 5-10 degrees.

For a $100 heatsink? :\

I expected a more dramatic decrease.

Now don't take my word for it, I'm not too experienced.
Wait until someone else confirms or gives proper numbers, but I think that is about right.
10 degrees Celsius is pretty big.
