It is rated to 1.5ghz. Do you think it could do that.

Looks kinda wacky, its hard to see in those pics.

If your worried about a heatsink working properly just get one off the amd recommended list.

Ditch the heatsink? Should I?

I dont see it on the page. Should I try it on my comp? It does not have the pink stuff on the bottom can I put it on without appling thermal paste?

Niffty looking HSF, and I agree regarding the grease / thermal pad. Might perform well, but ya never know till ya try it. One feature turns me away from such sinks, and <u>maybe</u> all companies will wise up and change this.

I'm not advocating the particular Taisol shown below, but the area I circled showing the 3-clasp-connector for Socket A boards makes incredibly good sense!

If you do get the single clasp HSF in your pic, let us know how well it cools for my "info files."

i tried the heatsink and it sucked. first of all the connecter is not strong enough to get to the core of the CPU. I know this because I stayed in the bios screen and the temp got to 60C and then i turned my comp and touched the heatsink and it was not very hot. Second, the fans blades should be inclosed not open. I took out the heatsink cleaned the CPU and I put my new Volcano II in there, so I am done now.
Thanks everybody!!

You MUST use thermal paste or at least a thermal pad.

You wont know the true power of the thing if you dont use thermo paste or atleast a pad.
