The retail heat sink likely will not fit in the case. It will not with most
Dells.
I always just reuse the heat sink with Arctic Silver.

just get a retail version of the processor if you can and it will come
with a new heatsink
and if it does not have thermal tape then use some artic silver grease

Will be replacing the 1.5GHZ processor with a 2.0GHZ processor. Dell
says not to reuse the original heatsink. Sounds like it has thermal tape
on it that won't work right with replacement CPU. Can I clean off old
tape and use something like Artic Silver instead? Or should I get a new
heatsink with fan mounted on it. There is no fan on heatsink now, just a
green cowling with a fan on side of case pulling hot air from heat sink.
If I get heatsink with fan, where should I connect 3 pin fan plug?
Motherboard or get a 3 prong to 4 prong wiring adapter to pull power from
disk drive power cables?
