    I played a resource heavy game online for about an hour, and checked my temperatures after and the CPU had gone up about 2-3 degrees, which still puts it below 10C. Everything else stayed the same. I am worried about the Aux temp. but the computer seems to be working perfectly fine. I will...

    Does my hsf support am2 or not?

    I read the manual, the 4-pin can work for 3-pin adapters, I think. Turned on the PC, and it is quiet and nothing is burning. So I think it is good. I am still kind of scared something will go wrong, but I hope nothing does. Installing windows as we speak.

    Does my hsf support am2 or not?

    Okay people. I just installed it. The only problem I've encountered is the power cord for the fan. The power cord has a 3-pin adapter on it but the place where you plug up the fan is 4-pin. What does this mean? Does this mean the heatsink wasn't made for my motherboard or will it work if just...

    Does my hsf support am2 or not?

    Is it just me or does the picture look like it says it supports 939/754/M2? Is there a difference between AM2 and M2 or is that just a typo?

    Does my hsf support am2 or not?

    I just bought a RX Series Silent Boost RX K8 for my computer. Nowhere on it does it say that it supports the am2 socket that my computer has. But i've google'd it looking for reviews and some reviews list it supporting am2. What is up with that? Does it support it, or does it not support it...

    Heatsink can't fit onto motherboard!!!!! PLEASE HELP!

    I didn't upgrade from a 5600+, that was something someone else posted that I found on google. I kind of don't want to use the heatsink on my other computer since I'd like to have 2 working computers. I wiped off the bonding agent on both items and have put the heatsink back in the box...

    Heatsink can't fit onto motherboard!!!!! PLEASE HELP!

    "I upgraded from a 5600, which fit fine. The cooler for the 6000 has pipes, whereas the cooler for the 5600 does not, this causes the problem with trying to seat it properly. AMD it working on it and I'll repost when I get some more information."
