    How on Earth can you think a Sempron heatsink will perform better than an FX heatsink?

    That said, if you meant you wanted to use your FX heatsink on your Sempron, that'd work.

    99% of people have no idea what a Sempron 140 is, the last time I heard Sempron was during the K8 days where it was an Athlon 64 with half the L2 cache.

    The answer is simple, if it's for the same socket type then it will, if not, then it won't.

    Even if it does fit, as the guy before was trying to point out, it's a horrible idea. But it sounds like you're not here for advice anyway.

    The stock AMD coolers are terrible, even worse than the Intel ones, but bear in mind they are designed to keep your 125 W CPU cool, whereas the one from 7/8 years ago isn't anywhere near that., you might end up with overheating.

    hello,
    have you set your cpu fan in bios?
    if you set to performance, its a dam sight quieter.

    The fan on my FX-8120 was quite loud to when it would ramp up with the temp. I have since installed a XSPC 750 RS240 water cooling kit and even with 4 120mm fans running in a push/pull they are still quieter than the stock fan.

    Personally I would water cool any FX CPU instead of using the stock heatsink/fan. My temps are 25c idle and have never gone over 34c under full load. With the stock headsink/fan my idle temps were 41c or more.

    I guess it will work as a temporary replacement for your broken fx8150 fan. As long as it is spinning...
