I want to ditch the heatsink fan that I got with my AMD 2400+ retail, so does anyone know up to what's the fastest AMD chip it can be used with? I don't have any need for it anymore since I have my ALX-800 with Panaflo 12H up and running. So much cooler and quieter!

From what I understand it's identical to the 3200+ fan, granted that depends on when you bought the chip, they change designs on a whim. The HSF that was in my 2400+ Tbred B core last year was a rather cheapish deal with a copper plate screwed to the base. The HSF included in my stepdads 2600+ appeard to be a very nice copper cored Speeze.

As mentioned The copper based HS will work with the 3200XP. If you get rid of it, don't for get to keep the #'s on the fan for warranty purposes.
