Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 3800+ retail box fan

[perplex26]

hello,

i am purchasing an athlon 64x2 retail box with fan. I dont intend to overclock as i dont know how, and i will probably melt the chip instantly. Will the fan in the box be sufficient? (I take it it will be very noisy!).

thanks

hi lee87,

thanks for the advice. ill purchase chip on its own, as well as that fan. As long as it works on stock 3800+ ill use it. I am quite ignorant at the moment to overclocking - the standard 3800+ will be fine for me. I havent read any of the guides for overclocking - All i have is from word of mouth with is that if you make one mistake overclocking your cpu, it melts and youve wasted 200 quid!

Regards,
