Heatsink
I have only built computers using the AMD XP CPU. Do the heatsinks
for the AMD 64 CPU attached to the motherboard and CPU the same way for the XP CPU? And are their any ohter differences I should be aware of? Thanks in advance. Theodat |

Namely the backing plate needed on the otherside of the motherboard Like a Playstation2 where its CPU heatsink is attached on the mobo? No, it isn't directly attached, instead, there is a plate that you slide on the underside of the motherboard with two posts that go through the motherboard, and you screw the heatsink base onto that. Next up you do the standard clipping on of the heatsink. its a bit of a pain with some bases (the one that came with my mobo sucked, little plastic piece with nothing to hold it on while you were trying to flip the board around to attach it), but the plate and base that came with my heatsink were really nice. Metal plate that had an adhesive pad, and really helps to dissapate some of the heat |

And you'll get that plate with your boxed cpu and another one with your
motherboard, so you'll probably have one spare. A64 heatsink attach is much better and easier to install than Socket A.

I was looking on th AMD website and could not find this information
(does not mean it is not there, but just could not find it). Think I will wait for the price of the AMD 64 to come down just a bit before I build one.

(Corrected Top posting) I personally liked the one with my heatsink the best, was all metal with an insolated pad, compared to the plastic one with the motherboard |
