x2 3800 & overclock & stock amd heatsink

[sonoma1993]

How well is the stock amd heatsink that came with my amd x2 3800 retail for overclocking? it has that thermal paste that came on the heatsink.

This should be the one that came with your CPU Plenty for 2.4-2.5ghz as long as you don't need too much of a voltage bump to do it. As you can see they use a Shin Etsu T.I.M. which is good stuff.

Eh. Its okay. Its basically the same exact one that came with my 3000+ winchester, it got toasty when I OC'ed it, so I got a TT big typhoon. Its certainly adequate though as long as you don't pump up the volts.
