Guest Dave Candi Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 I'm thinking of upgrading my cpu to an AMD X2 6000 from a X2 3800. Do you think the supplied heatsink/fan will do the job or should i invest in a better one?
Guest Anando [MVP] Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Re: Cpu upgrade? Hello, Speaking from my recent experience, you should definitely invest in a proper cooling solution. Since the higher clock speed CPU produces more heat, I am pretty sure that the existing heat sink would not be sufficient. -- Anando Microsoft MVP- Windows Shell/User http://www.microsoft.com/mvp Microsoft Certified Professional http://www.microsoft.com/mcp My Blog http://www.anando.org/blog "Dave Candi" <DaveCandi@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:E92F7D4F-4D18-4AB1-8C9C-2F822270171E@microsoft.com... > I'm thinking of upgrading my cpu to an AMD X2 6000 from a X2 3800.

Guest JS Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Re: Cpu upgrade? By 'Supplied heatsink/fan' do you mean the X2 6000 comes with the heatsink/fan, if so as long as your not planning to overclock you should be OK. However if you mean using your existing X2 3800 heatsink/fan, then I would not use it, upgrade to a better cooling system.
