Hmm, I just checked and there appears to be no indication of that on
AMD retail processors. I checked 5 different CPUs here at work XP2
5600+, Ph2 250,Ph2 545. Sempron 2500+, Ph2 X3 720. I would replace the
70mmX 70mmx 15mm fan probably 3000 to 4000 RPM with a 70mmX 70mmx 25mm
fan 2000 to 2500 RPM fan.

I could not find any of these at newegg but this one looks good:

I see that the other poster (Johnny) had it for a lower price.
