I just bought an athlon XP 1600+ at newegg.com and I am wondering what type of heatsink and fan come with the retail cpu?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. 😱
 
thanks for the info, is this hsf made by AMD or do they use any specific brand?
btw, what is IMHO ?? lol, need to brush up on my abbreviations 🙂
 
IMO -- In my opinion

People say that the HSF that comes with retail AMDs are Coolermasters, someone in Cases and Cooling could give you a link most likely...
 


<< Well, it's just AMD's stock H/S Fan. Nothing extravagent. IMHO it doesn't really cool very well. >>



not very well, but is it sufficient?
 
thanks for all the input, and i would like to add a "ditto" to Lithium381's question. Not very well, but will it be sufficient on an ECS K7S5A mobo?
