Athlon XP 2100+ with SK-6?
Ok I just bit the bullet and purchased a new 2100+ CPU.
The guy in the shop was trying to sell me a heatsink for it as well (an extra £20). Since this guy thought that the Clawhammer CPUs were going to be Socket A compatible I didn't really think I needed a new heatsink. I currently have a ThermalRight SK-6installed with Artic silver and have been running a 1.4Ghz Athlon with a 143 fsb (284Mhz DDR effective CPU speed of 1.503Ghz) and the temperatures have been well under control.
I have just been checking the info on the thermalright web site and they say "AMD: Athlon and Athlon XP Desktops up to 1.533 GHz and higher Duron 1.1 GHz and higher ". Since the 2100+ is running at 1.7Ghz should I get another heatsink. Since I live in Scotland (not the warmest of climates) my temps are generally low anyway can I stick with this heatsink as it cost me about £40 in the UK which is a hell of a lot for a heatsink. I don't really want to add this part to my computer graveyard yet...
