Fan type on boxed Tbirds

[Ben88]

What kind of HSF is included in the boxed version of the Thunderbird? I'm assuming it has to be an approved fan since amd is supplying it. Would it be safe to overclock an 850mhz tbird to 1 ghz with the box hsf? Thanks,
Ben

I believe its a CoolerMaster but not sure of the model. I would say that you should try overclocking with the standard hsf. You might be unlucky and get a chip that doesn't OC very well. If your chip seems to OC ok but gets a little unstable due to high temps then go for a FOP38.

Thanks Daddy i'll try that out. I'm only pushing it up 150mhz, which isn't a huge increase.
