AMD Heatsink Question

[Tekster]

Does anyone know if processors like http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103535 come with a heatsink that snaps in?

it does come with a heatsink, but when you say "snap in" im thinking about several things. Can you please be more clear and specific?

 

[Tekster]

Like does it need screws? Or just those little handles on either side you have to press down to lock it in. I assume it attaches on the border sorrounding the CPU socket.

I have this mobo by the way

ohh ok that makes more sense. The "snap in" sockets are socket 462's. you have a socket 939. Your mobo and that processor/heatsink would work just fine. So yes, it would work for your mobo if thats what your wondering.

Oh, ok, that's good to know.

But just to clarify: my heatsink won't be a "snap-in"?
You said socket 462s are snap in. And I have a socket 939. So, I'll probably have to screw something in.

No problem though.

the socket 939's heatsinks latch on the sides of the motherboard. Nothing clicks in and there are no screws.

yep, you dont have to screw anything in .

Here it is..

It would help to see it on picture, there is a little lever on the HSF which you move from the upright position to the right (when looking at the lever from the top with the heatsink above it) and that will be it ..BINGO!
