Nice to see my Arctic Freezer 64 will still work. Good news for my wallet !

Will the AMD 939 stock sink (the one lazyman reviewed) fit ? Just want to be sure I don't need a new sink or bracket if I upgrade to AM2.

That one will fit.

Everything that uses the clips will work.

it's in the list! "AMD 4 HEATPIPES HSF" :p

lol yeah.. my bad rtfm lol

Zalman CNPS7000 with 462 bracket - compatible?
 

Folks,

Did anyone try to use the optional mounting bracket included with Zalman CNPS7000 for socket 462? It just looks like it might fit the backplate hole pattern. If it does, then perchance the mounting holes on the heatsink will align as well?

Appreciate if some proud owner of AM2 mobo and Zalman CNPS700 could test this.

Thanks!

the holes of S478 don't align with the AM2 holes, it's a different form altogether.

Not S478, the AMD socket 462... Each Zalman "flower" comes with a pair of aluminum (usually blue tinted) brackets that provide mounting for socket 462. These look just like they have the same pattern as the new AM2 (or not).

woops, misread the number, sorry, it was still early;)

those blue tinted mini brackets are made to fit the mounting holes around the Socket A/462, however the holes on the Socket AM2 platform are different, they are also further apart, so the bracket on the Zalman CNPS7000 would be too short.

at http://www.swiftnets.com/products/APOGEE.asp# you can see the mounting bracket and the different holes used for the different sockets, you'll notice that the Socket 462 holes are much closer to the core compared to Intel socket 478 and Socket T. Socket AM2 side mounting clip compare with the mounting holes on Socket 939.

Thanks, man, appreciate it.
