Most people who had the AMD stock copper heatsink said they are better than most $30 aftermarket heatsink

And i don't agree with stock being noisy. I am have a Athlon X2 and 7850 cpu that uses the basic aluminum heatsink.
The cpu fan is virtually SILENT when you have cool&quiet on and when you are not gaming.
