I recently ordered an OEM AMD 64 4000+ 939 cpu from newegg.com. My current cpu is a 64 3200+ which came with my eMachines. Would it be wise to upgrade the cpu fan or should the stock fan be fine? Thanks Athlon 64 3200+ 2.0GHz 2000MHz FSB 1024 Dual Channel PC3200 XFX GeForce 6600GT PCI-E

Stock fan should be fine. If you look at a pc company like e-machines they pretty much use the same fans and heatsinks for motherboards that support numrous types of processors in that series. Unless you overclock you don't need anything to really cool down the s939 AMD Athlon 64 processor, because it runs pretty cool already as is.

I don't know about you, but I would not have gone with another single core upgrade, especially not from an A64 3200+ (S939). You should have asked before making that purchase.

I don't really need a multi-core processor right now. Just wanted a quick cheap upgrade for the time being. Not many X2 AMDs for 939s anyway. Athlon 64 3200+ 2.0GHz 2000MHz FSB 1024 Dual Channel PC3200 XFX GeForce 6600GT PCI-E

And I totally understand that. However, my point was, the money you spent on the 4000+ would have more justification if it was put towards a faster video card or even more memory. See the sweet spot.

I recently got an AMD Athlon 64 4000 939 for my pc that had a 3200. I looked everywhere for an X2. I ended up ordering several X2s but all of them were out of stock. Damn AMD, 939 was supposed to be the one for all the new processors. Wankers.
