Hello, I'm looking to upgrade from an Athlon 64 X2 5200+ to a phenom II X4 Black Edition 955...I need more power!!

My motherobard is a ASROCK k10N78D with a TDP of 125W

Am I correct in saying the new processor will work with my current motherboard?

Also I'm What I'm not sure is if my current heat sink will work with the new processor. My dad installed it a while ago, and he recently passed away. All i know is it is a zalman. Here is a picture:

thanks in advance!
 
Yeah, the website says it has support for AM3 processors, namely the phenom ii series. And yes, since you are using the same motherboard and socket type, you'll have no issues using that HSF.
 
quick response, thanks man!

does anyone know the exact model of the heat sink, so I can look up removal/install directions?
