AM3 CPU coolers

[PokerDegenerate]

Yikes I thought AM2+ CPU coolers would fit AM3 but im not so sure anymore can anyone confirm this or do I have to buy a new CPU cooler as well... God I shoulda just stuck with the 920...

Socket AM2 coolers fit perfectly on socket AM3. The dimensions are exactly the same.

Phew thats what i thought but I was looking around and some CPU coolers list AM3 and some dont... I was gonna be a lil unhappy...

I thought they were the same size it was just the number of pins that made the difference..

Thanks AR

AMD beat Intel on this.
