One more quick question

[adrian2055]

This might be a silly question, but I'm gonna ask it anyway.

I'm about to get a processor, but I wanna know something. I see one on eBay that doesn't come with the heatsink or fan. My question is can I use the heatsink that's in my desktop with this processor?

If it's for the same desktop, yes.

Sure you can. You just better make sure you get the right one. But most CPU fans will fit almost all sockets, but some are dedicated to lets say Socket 775. But make sure you get the right one and you should be all good to go

Sorry about that.

Mine is the 775 socket and yes, this is the same socket. Thanks!

I'm sure you can. It shouldn't hurt a sole if just about everything is in the same boat anyway.

Cool! I was hoping so. Thanks!
