Is this a good T-Bird Heatsink/Fan? (Just need a quick answer)

[datalink7]

Hi all,

My dad bought me some new computer parts as a suprise. He thought this(thermoengine w/black delta fan from 3dcool) looked like a good heatsink/fan to get with the 1.33ghz Athlon, so he bought it. Is it good? I am not planning to overclock at all, so will it be sufficient for my needs? (I also got Artic Silver Epoxy to go with it).

Thanks a lot.

Bump^

BTW... I have a good case with cood air circulation if that helps any.

it should work fine with your CPu... Dont' use AS Epoxy, though... what you want is Arctic Silver 2 grease.

The ThermoEngine with a STOCK fan is MORE than you need for a stock speed CPU. With the added Delta fan (it's noisy as HELL. Are you sure you want to put yourself through that) then the ThermoEngine becomes adequate for overclocking.

If you're not overclocking, just get a Dynaeon or TaiSol fan or the ThermoEngine without the noisy Delta fan on it.
