help choosing cpu coolers for vintage AMD QUAD FX build.

so a few years back i managed to score a ASUS L1N64-SLI WS and it's ATHLON 64 X2 fx74 CPU'S and im finally building my 2007 dream crysis destroyer. "the QUADfather" 4sE8tIH

in the last 2 pictures you can see the mounting hardware for the coolers, it has the standard AMD clips but only uses 2 screws to mount that plastic to the board,

what are some recommendations for some cpu coolers or even waterblocks that would mount up to this board? ideally the cooler would be from the 2005-2010 era but if it looks the part and performs well im not super picky. I am looking at a pair of Zalman cnps9700 coolers at the moment but would like to se what others find.
