Can a cpu fan from a different socket work with the AM2? Like would a fan for a 939 work for AM2? Thanks
 
AM2 requires it's own special heatsink, since they changed the design slightly from the older socket 754's and 939's.
 
My socket 939 heatsink and fan worked fine on my AM2. It even said on the box works with AM2 before Am2 came out. Then i got a AM2 a few months after it came out, and it fit find and worked well.

They have changed the design, but the S939 ones can still be made to fit. Not ideal if you have temperature troubles, though.
