If its a 65 watt TDP or under I would go with Noctua's NH-L9a heatsink if it works with your board. Another one everyone seems to use is the Sycthe Big Shruiken 2.0 I believe.
Other suggestions include:
Silverstone NT07-AM2 (65 w TPD)
Geild Silent Spirit (65 w TDP)
Dont know about any others as I was looking specifically for very low profile coolers for my case.

I did not see the SCBK-2100 compatible with the AMD FM2 socket. Am I missing something?
