    It's a little better than the stock fan/heatsink.

    It'll get the job done.. Unless that is you're planning some massive O/C, which I doubt you are.

    I was checking my current stock heatsink and I just found out that the heatsink I bought isnt compatible with my motherboard since it has no spot to use the clip thing... my heatsink has four screws in each corner... isn't there thing that I could buy to make the one I bought fit?

    Isn't there some sort of clip, which can make it compatible? What socket do you have? I guess AM2, for that, if you really want to spend money on High End Cooling: Tuniq tower 120, great cooling beast. For normal usage/overclock the Arctic Freezer 6 will do. I've got the Arctic Freezer 7PRO, which is for socket 775 and it's doing great. I saw the AF6 is compatible with both 754/939 and AM2 ? That should work?

    Then the Artic Freezer 6, which you have chosen, will be fine.

    it's OK, better than the stock heatpipe cooler included w/ the athlon x2s, and certainely ebtter than the stock HSF included w/ the single core athlons.

    sythe mine for 5$ more...
