Amd Athlon XP Socket a 462 Three Socket A locker 80mm.

[Oldschool297]

I have tried to find a locker like this at 80mm. Is there anyway to find them without buying a heatsink to? I guess if you would overclock these Socket a 462 models you need another heatsink and more powerful fan?

You mean a stock mounting clip?

Apparently the Socket 370 mounting clip is the same

Confirmed they are interchangeable.

Socket A heatsink on Socket 370?

Would a stock AMD Socket A heatsink be fine to use on a Socket 370 mobo? Assume the chip has an IHS.

Yes i did not know the name to it. Thanks it made my search easier. It must be a little more then 80mm.

I guess that you can't buy these loose?

Sometimes they will appear on fleabay loose so check there and see what you can find.
A standard cooler is fine for stock use of course, any kind of OC'ing use requires a better cooler and there are a few out there. Thermaltake made the Volcano series and those are OK for that use, personally I have two Volcano 11's I bought new and they work well.
Not selling them because I know the entire history of them and they do work, also because they are a matching set for my Asus A7M-266D dualie setup.

Check for anything of that series, sually the later ones of a higher model numerically are what to go for since those are later releases and being they are newer, there is a better chance they'll be in good shape to use.

Looks hard to find 80mm.Mostly 60mm.
