you can never go wrong with Thermalright (SLK-948U)

does it have the clips for the 939?

[ElrichMeister]

uh oh hehe, sorry yea i forgot the 939 thing, i suggest you wait for some good heatsinks for now then

i read somewhere today that the 939 uses the same connection as a 940/754 platform. can anyone back this up>?

I think it is the same heatsink mounts.. its all the K8 platform so I think so...

i read somewhere today that the 939 uses the same connection as a 940/754 platform. can anyone back this up>? Athlon 64 / FX / Opteron, no matter what socket type, can use the same heatsinks.

kool yea i did some research and they all can use the same mounts. I decided to go with a slk 948u. any suggestions on fans that go good with this heatsink? as long as its quieter then my volcano 11 in my current rig i could care less. 8)

well I just installed one with a TT Orb (Orb was customer's idea, not mine) Do no get that fan lol. I find it ugly, its loud, and its a pita to attach with the clips....
