AMD phenomII x6 fan

[anbo369]

Hey guys, I'm thinking of buying an AMD Phenom II X6 Black Edition 1090T off ebay to replace my old phenomII x2 550 BE.

But I just realised that the 1090T is an OEM model, which I've heard don't come with a heatsink and fan.
So I was wondering if the stock cooler that came with my 550 would suffice?

thanks

So long as the socket is the same and you don't want to overclock, yes your current cooler will work.

No. I wouldn't do that. The one you had before is an 80 watt processor and the replacement is 125 watts. More wattage = more heat. I'd invest in a better cooler. A Hyper 212 Cooler Master would be a cheap solution. A CM TX3 would also work.
