Heatsink for AMD Athlon 64 X2

[Spartan]

I use a Zalman CNPS9500 to cool my processor. Works REALLY well, but the stock heatsink that AMD provides is also rather good.

The Athlon 64 X2 is the first dual-core desktop CPU manufactured by AMD. It is fundamentally a processor consisting of two Athlon 64 cores joined together on one die with some supplementary control logic.
The cores share one dual-channel memory controller, are based on the E-stepping model of Athlon 64 and, depending on the model, have either 512 or 1024 KiB of L2-Cache per core. The X2 is capable of decoding SSE3 instructions (except those few specific to Intel's architecture), so it can run and benefit from software optimizations that were previously only supported by Intel chips. This enhancement is not unique to the X2, and is also available in the recently released Venice and San Diego single core Athlon 64's. AMD officially started shipping the Athlon 64 X2 at Computex, on 1st June 2005.

THats all fine and dandy but pecs of the processors have nothing to do with this thread.

Not sure what was the two posts about the processor specs, but thanks anyway.

yah, that was pretty random...anyway, you should find the stocks to work just fine
