heatsink for shuttle ak31

[Nicksixxfour]

Which heatsink should I use for shuttle ak31 mb? And do I need to use heatsink if I don't overclock? Thanks a lot.

Yes, you need a heatsink regardless of whether you or overclokcing or not... Running an athlon (of any variant) on an AK31 is asking for both a fried CPU and possibly fried MB.

Any socket-a heatsink "should" work.... you need not have a massive unit if you don't plan on heavily overclocking.

Thermalright SK6, Alpha PAL 8045, or Alpha Pal 6035. Depends on how much you want to spend.
