Socket 940 and AM2 cooling

adrianmcmillan

Good Day,

I am trying to build a server using a 1U case, I have tried to get my hands on an AM2 cooler that is low profile (1U) to fit in this case, however I am unable to source one. I have however seen socket 940 coolers and I was wondering if those could be used as well. Can anyone assist me?

You are trying to build a server in a 1u case... Why AMD? They run hotter at 90nm...

I would suggest building a new C2D box if you can, or get a 65nm athalon processor.

What socket are you referring to for the amd? Socket 939? Socket am2? This would help us better decide the heatsink to fit your needs.

Thanks guys for your help, however I guess what I am trying to get at is if a 940 cpu cooler can be used for an AM2 cpu. Specifically in 1U and 2U cases. I am building a low cost server using dual core AM2 athlon which use 65Watts of power. Excessive heat should not be an issue using these CPUs with the ADO
