hello,

ive just got myself a 64-bit athlon 3500 s939 cpu. i understand you get the standard heatsink and fan with it but i would like to overclock this baby so what is the best fan/heatsink to buy for this cpu?

what is the highest speed someone got with this cpu without water cooling?

I would probably expect around 2.4Ghz with reasonable Vcores(~1.7), and that could probably be done with stock. Best you could buy for heatsink is probably the SLK948U. I got watercooling for mine so i could pump 1.8Vcore through my 3400+.
