No it's a really **** aluminum thing, without heatpipes.

So they're using a worse HSF for the phenom range compared to the athlon x2 range?

Bargain, even if it doesn't work out, you should be able to sell it on for a profit I would think.

Yep, hopefully this

combined with the phenom will be a good setup.

Thanks for your help.

Hmm, im able to source a second hand retail phenom 9500 + unused HSF for £89. You think thats worth it? I was going to use a cheap £35 uatx 690G motherboard to build a media centre pc for around £200. I was hoping i could just set the stock fan on low speed and forget about it, which in the case with the above HSF i linked would have been viable.

Hey I know where you got that . For that price it is an absolute steal (for a quad at least) - (especially as the seller stated that it overclocks well for a phenom)

(BTW I am xaser04 on TPU in case you were wondering lol)
