Comment:
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
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.
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.
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. My PC is:
AMD Athlon 64 4000 939 2048MB DDR400 RAM Asus PCIx 16 7600GT 600Mhz 256MB WD 160 SATA2 HHD Asus N force 4 Ultra motherboard
