Default Heatsink for Q9550?

I'm getting the Q9550 for my R2-M5 Upgrade and don't know if I should just stick with the stock cooler or should I get a new heatsink. I will not be OC'ing so I don't need anything fancy much less WC. Any ideas/recommendations?

I understand they switched to a somewhat more anemic heatsink for the 45nm parts. You might want to make sure it's as good as the one on latter-day 65nm parts (big copper insert, at least).

If you're not overclocking you'll be fine. The Intel stock coolers are hardly amazing feats of engineering but they're adequate.
