http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835106038 thinking about getting it when i get an x2 cpu
i dont but i will give a reccomendation... the amd stock hsf is better than that... because that isnt made for x2's and x2's have special x2 and fx hsf's http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835118004
no you are thinking of AM2 socket x2's dual core and opteron HSF are good quality heatpipe heatsinks though but in answer to the OP's question...that heatsink will work however the stock amd hsf will perform better
very good indeed...however i would save some cash and go for the arctic cooling freezer 64 pro http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835185125 much better performancerice ratio
I have that same HS/F! great fan and I have no doubts nor worries about heat with this bad boy! when i had my dual core which i miss btw... CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Toledo @ 280x10=2.8GHz @ 1.58V (36C-Idle, 45C-Half Load, 52C-Full Load Thermaltake Venus12@4,250RPM) the thing does 5500 rpms i recommend it http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=94923 <-- sexy beast >.<
my X2 came with a standard alu block, no heatpipes i think the heatpipe blocks are high end X2, Fx and opteron exclusive that said, stock sink does OK for normal operation, its a tad hot now, but what do you want with 30+ degs ambient temp
