Hi everyone, I don't know if this question was asked before but here it is :)

I just bought a new CPU (AMD 939 4200+ x2) and I kinda misread the post and no heatsink and fan was shipped with it.

I was wondering if my 4000+ heatsink and fan would do the job. I have no intention of overclocking it.

Thanks for your help.

If it was for socket 939, yes. Clean off any old thermal compound with 91% isopropyl alcohol and reapply new compound before re-using the heat sink.

Considering that 4000+ ran at 2.4 GHz and the 4200+ runs at 2.2 GHz I'd assume they both have about the same thermal output... I'm too lazy to look up either's TDP, but I agree that as long as the heatsink physically fits you should be fine.

 

Crap... I'm second guessing myself now. I'm pretty sure the X2 series was when AMD started shipping large heatsinks and fans with their processors... just to be on the safe side I'd either look up both processors TDP or see if you can find a picture of a stock X2 heatsink/fan.

I was feeling unusually nice today... the TDP on the 4000+ is 89 watts and 95 watts for the Socket 939 X2-4200+.

Translation... the X2 is going to generate a little more heat... but not a lot.
