Cooling an Athlon XP!

[VascoV]

Well I was thinking about this processor but I just read in the net that it is "lower" than the previous Thunderbird. So what kind of cooler can be used with this processor? Can I use my Drangon Orb 3 with the Athlon XP ?

I"m also interested in knowing if you can use the same coolers as well. I will be using a vantec cck-3065d all copper, will that work. Also I heard that they did the core out of fiberglass and not ceramic, should I still buy a shim?

I know that in theory the XP is cooler than the thunderbird, the problem is the "lower center core" of the processor, that just might not be in contact with the cooler. I alsoo have a copper shim from tt.

 

[Speedy3D!]

yes, I want to know if it will make contact
