Will this CPU cooler fit AM2 socket?

Niskyspy · 11-21-2006, 04:15 AM

Its coolermaster Hyper 48 http://www.coolermaster-usa.com/Products.aspx?pid=912
It says that it's:
Socket Type Socket 478/754/940/939/LGA775
Supports Intel's Core 2 Extreme and Core 2 Duo

But I have AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor Socket AM2, so I was wondering if this fan will fit AM2 socket.
Thank you

Hopfully someone could tell you for sure. I'd say it should because 939 and AMD are basically identical...

I hope you mean AM2, but it might not, the retention plates and stuff are different.

I'm sure that's what he meant

And no, the Hyper48 will not fit the AM2 socket.

Haha, yeah, that's what I meant...

But it won't fit? I'm suprised...

yes, it will fit with a retention modification. the difference in the retention bracket is that it's secured to the motherboard by 4 screws instead of 2. read this, at the end of the 4th paragraph after the picture of the socket:

Id suggest you dont bother about 'retention modification', etc... Just get a new cooler and put a smile on your dile!

Yea, I guess I'll just leave it stock for now

. And when a nice fan that I like comes out I'll buy it and do some overclocking

on Vista that is
