Heatsink Question?

[Drunkagain]

I have an AMD Duron 800, and am looking at moving up to a 1.3 T-Bird. Can I, or even should I, use the heatsink and fan I have on my Duron 800 with that? Thanks.

Most hsf's are rated (i.e. "For socket A processors up to 1000mhz", or something like that). Find out what yours is rated to, and then you'll know.
btw- you could get a more definitive answer if you told us what hsf you're using now.
Good luck!

It's the setup that came with the retail box.

Don't use that one on a 1.3! Coolerguys.com offers a whole bunch of nice coolers at reasonable prices.

Yeah, you definitely <b>don't</b> want to use the one that came with your Duron.
