Will a core 2duo heatsink work on a core 2 quad cpu?

What's wrong with the Q6600's heat sink..?? As for compatibility, it'll work as both are from the same socket family..

i bought the cpu from ebay and does not come with the cpu coller

i would assume they have the same cooler. Some core 2 duo's have crappy coolers though. Does the cooler have fins that kind of spiral outwards and a copper core? If so then it sounds like it should be ok. You should also remove the old thermal paste and apply new paste or it will get hot.

kool will do i think it does have the fins but dont remember about the copper core

will fit but will not be efficient in cooling so go get a new cooler

will do thanks

Get a new cpu cooler.
