The only heatsinks which can be re-used on the new socket without extras are those with clips, clips made for the S939 K8 bracket. The new bracket allows them to be installed without issue, plug and play. Below you can see an Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 installed on AM2:   See the update section at the end of the page for new updates and mounting brackets which allow MORE exisiting heatsinks to be used on the AM2 platform The list So which heatsinks have clips, which ones could fit through use of a custom bracket? Weve gone through our heatsink reviews and added the necessary bits of information concerning compatibility. We also added heatsinks we have not tested yet but are confirmed to work with AM2, either natively, or through use of a new clip/bracket.
- (1) Scythe mounting clips will fit on some AM2 bracket, see which one here From the whole collection of third party heatsinks only a handful can be used with the new socket AM2 bracket. Luckily there are some excellent high performance units as well as low noise heatsinks on that short list. The Scythe Mine and Arctic Freezer 64 Pro offer an excellent price/performance/noise ratio. The Thermalright HR-01 is aligned toward the rear with on this Asus motherboard, while other AM2 mainboards seem to have similar orientation to most S939 boards. Can you spot the ugly duckling?   MSI - EPOX   Gigabyte - Abit   Biostar - Asus If you are planning to buy a new heatsink for your current system, it might not be a bad idea to check if your choice is compatible with the AM2 mounting bracket. Well return with more AM2 information in the coming weeks and keep you updated on the advances at the cooling front.
