So I just purchased a Sempron 2600+ through newegg, got in one of those combo deals with the Biostar MB. I will be able to replace my XP1900+ for less than $150 dollars.
But anyway, on to my problem. In the past two months, I have built two other systems, one a AMD64 3000+ and another a X2 3800+. With both of these systems I bought an after market heatsink and they are running beautifully. However, with this system i am just going to use the stock heatsink. But since I have these two additional heatsinks, i want to use the on with the best cooling. Logic would say that the X2 3800+ would have the heaviest and most efficient heatsink and placing a X2 stock heatsink on a Sempron would be the best way to go. However, i roughly wieghted (by hand nothing serious) and visually inspected all three and they all seem to have same wieght and similar fans.
Am I correct in this? It would be interesting that AMD would ship the same heatsink for all VERY different cpus.
Oh, am i going to OC?
If i can why not.; but i got the Biostar and i dont think it has that great a OC potential and am using Cosair VC RAM.
And, and what is this purpose of this machine?
To have a machine that I can run 24/7 and NOT see my lights dim in my room (as is the case with the X2, the 3000 was for my brother). Right now, I am using the XP1900 to run all the time and this thing can't download and playing a video smoothly, besides the fact that it wont run Firefox. either way it needs replacing.
All thoughts welcome! TIA!
