This totally beats buying anything intel. I recomend you get a different air cooler though. I have this in a MSI NF750-G55 nForce 750a board.
Quiet and Powerful

I put mine in a Shuttle SA76G2 250wps with win7 and it runs Lotro on a high level using the motherboard video, may not need to add a video card for now. Getting the ICE2 mounted over it was a bit tricky getting the screws started
Sweet CPU for the $$$$$$$$$$$

This was my first AMD build, decided to give them a try as the costs were lower for for the speed comparison AMD VS Intel. I'm impressed and matched with the Asus MA478Pro board and easy Turbo V over clocking software included I'm doing 3.360 ghz... That is without seriously over clocking this chip. Not bad. There is value here and I have started on my next AMD build as money permits. Absolute speed, Intel is still the winner but for the average builder at a lower cost AMD is the way to go. The A in the MA478Pro is for ATI chipset and AMD the processor probably make a better match then the N boards by Asus. I'm very happy and impressed with the processor and the combination. I'm using Patriot Viper DDR2 PC2-8500 1066 4 gig. Zalman CNPS9500 AM2 cooler, idle 68 degrees F, my work load not gaming 87F cool summer and and a warm one...
Happy! Gerald, Wisconsin
Heat Sinks - Many Shapes & Sizes!
A heat sink (or heatsink) is an object that absorbs and dissipates heat from
another object using thermal contact (either direct or radiant). Heat sinks
are used in a wide range of applications wherever efficient heat dissipation
is required; including for CPUs, Memory, Video Cards, and more.
Heat Sink Shapes Change!
Many products come with a Heat Sink, and some with a combination Heat Sink
and Fan. Keep in mind though, that manufacturers are constantly
improving the design of their cooling components, thus the shape and design
of the heat sink or heat sink & fan can change on any product at any time.
PLEASE NOTE:
Cooling Components Can Change At Any Time, And Do Not
Affect The Performance Or Specifications Of The Product.
How Do Heat Sinks Work?
Heat sinks function by transferring high temperature thermal energy (heat)
from one object (such as a CPU chip) to a second object (such as the Heat
Sink), which has a lower temperature, with a much greater heat capacity.
This rapid transfer of heat quickly balances the temperature of both
devices, lowering the temperature of the first. This is what makes a
heat sink a cooling device. Since room temperature is usually cooler than
the hot device, the Heat Sink helps cool the device, lowering its temp to
closer to room temperature.
The most common design of a heat sink is a metal device with many fins or
vanes. The high thermal conductivity of the metal combined with the large
surface area of the fins does the work to rapidly transfer heat to the
surrounding, cooler, air. This cools the heat sink and whatever it is in
contact with. Some Heat Sinks use the metal alone for cooling, some
use fluids (just like you car radiator) and a thermal interface material
(such as thermal gel) to ensure maximum heat transfer to the heat sink.
Adding a fan dramatically improves air flow, and improves the heat transfer
even more.
Remember The
Thermal Paste!
Remember that when you are adding a Heat Sink, you MUST USE
thermally conductive Gel or Paste, to form a good thermal contact between
the Heat Sink and the Device. Failing to use this will result in
reduced cooling, and possible failure and damage to the device!
