Re: Need Phenom 9950 Cooler
Zalman has always been an excellent brand. I have used it in the past, but this last go around I did not and it cost me a processor.
Here is there product page:

More specifically, if I were you I would look into the CNPS9500A LED for looks and great cooling.

The Zalman is rated to diffuse an adequate amount of heat. It was designed to work with older, hotter Athlon CPUs so I don't see why it wouldn't work for a Phenom... Keeps my Athlon X2 6000+ at 35C under load and 32C when idle (depending on the ambient room temp)

There are many that are good nowadays. Thermalright, Zalman, Thermaltake, are all good manufacturers of air coolers. Check out their websites.
I have not looked into the liquid cooling much yet, but may in the future. Mostly for quietness with excellent cooling capabilities.
I know some of Thermalright products have been getting some monster reviews on it's Ultra-120 Extreme. Here are some examples and product page:

It ultimately comes down to what you want to spend and what you intend on doing with your cpu (overclocking). With the new core designs in the 45nm range, you do not need as heavy cooling options as the old AMD duals at 95w and 125w unless your overclocking your quad.
