Re: Semperon 2800 with Athlon XP 2800 heatsink.



Not enough info and my crystal ball needs reformatting. Sempron has a giant
of a cooler and fan. Your "Athlon 2800" cooler can be either an Athlon 64 or
an Athlon XP. I can't see how you would clip a smaller Athlon XP cooler
onto the ZIF socket. Where is the original Sempron cooler?
