AMD Boxed Heatsink/Fan

[puppydawwg]

AMD sells their processors in a "boxed" package with a heatsink/fan. They come with a 3 year waranty, but does anyone know what kind of fan/heatsink they use? Is it any good?

Thanks for the input, Struggles and Paul233.

The Retail boxed Intel Celeron coolers rated VERY good in Heat Sink tests.

I've done mild overclocking with them.

Average at best. I always upgrade for a couple extra bucks.

I just got one and tried it out. With artic silver it was 4 degrees hotter than my Volcano 2. which keeps my 1.2 athlon @1380 at 44-47 max. So its actually a pretty good unit imo.
