Arctic Cooler 64 & no IHS

DizzyEgg · 1 Mar 2006 at 16:53

I have had a search around the forum but it hasn't help.

Will it be ok for me to run an Arctic Cooler on a Opteron with no IHS?

Thanks

It's an opteron im looking to overclock, so would like a decent one.

Thanks

Is that Zalman a screw down?

This is for an ATX system that will likly be moved, is screw down fan a good idea in a system thats gonna get moved, or should i reattach the ihs?

Well, my motherboard is the Biostar mATX 6100/410.

Would it be possible just to rest the IHS on the CPU and attach a normal cooler?

If the IHS is tightly pushed to the CPU (the clips should do this) it should keep cool, am I right or am I so far off its unbelievable?

I have my board and CPU now, so im looking for a fan ASAP.

Thanks
