12 months or so ago I bought an AMD XP2100+ processor and heatsink (Retail kit) and over the weekend I've just bought an XP2800+ (Thoroughbred) oem cpu.Will my heatsink/fan be ok to transfer from one cpu to the other? I don't mean this from a physical point of view,more from a cooling point of view?
It's just that I've seen various cpu fans that say suitable upto a certain speed of processor etc etc......
Is this the case with the genuine AMD kit too??

Cheers

IMHO buy a new fan to cool the faster chip; the cost will be negligable and I'd be a lot more happy that the chip wouldn't burn out.

I would buy a new heatsink & fan but if your existing one is labelled you could check its compatibility here
