I am looking at the artic cooler freezer 64 pro. My board is asrock 939 dual sata with x2 3800+. I currently have it overclocked to 2.4 with stock cooling. I want to OC higher but want a berrer fan. Any suggestions? Also, I would like to put the stock cooler on my daughters system it is AMD 1.4 ghz.....Do you think the fan from a 939 board will fit on the 1.4?

Any heatpipe heatsink will work fine, since your motherboard isn't going to get your X2 much past where it's at now, from what I hear.

Thanks....Any thoughts on the stock cooler that came with the x2 3800+ working with AMD 1.4 Ghz processor? Not sure if it will fit or if 1.4 gets hotter and needs something stronger. The fan I have on the 1.4 now is really really loud....Thanks.

I honestly have no idea. I have both an Athlon XP and Skt. 754 & 939 processors, but I've never tried a 754 or 939 heatsink on an XP. I have a Thermalright SLK-900a on the XP, which is better than the stock heatsinks from my Skt. 754 & 939 chips, anyway.
