Hi,
I've just bought a AMD athlon 64 x 2 6000 processor & as I'm going to overclock it I thought I'd better buy a new heatsink. Someone recommended the arctic freezer 64 pro as its a very reasonable price & its very good to so I went with that.Now whats confusing me a little is on the artic heatsink box it says supports all AMD athlon 64 (X2) (Socket 754,939,AM2) which covers me.My socket is AM2 & I have an athlon x 2 6000 (3.0GHz).I wanted to do a little research before installing it to see if I could pick up any tips & I've come across numerous websites that say it only supports up to athlon 64 x 2 5000.I've also come across some that says it works with all athlons x 2 & up to 130W.My CPU is 125W.I'm a little baffled now.I want to get on & install my new CPU & heatsink but I think I will wait until I get some feedback.
Can anyone confirm either way please?Thankyou.
