The stock fan/heatsink is more than plenty to run a non overclocked/overvolted chip. I have overclocked quite a few AMD's on stock heatsinks. If your cpu is truly overheating, the fan is spinning, and is clean (and it looks clean), then the problem has to be one of two things.
Bad thermal paste / incorrect amount. Have you ever removed the heatsink, if you have, and you didn't replace the thermal paste, heat cannot be correctly transferred into the heatsink. If you replaced it, and used too much thermal paste same thing happens.

Or Case temp issue. If your case is too hot to cool that heatsink, the replacement one will run just as hot, this should be very easy to check by checking the temp of any other device (motherboard, northbridge, videocard, etc).
