Socket A cooler compatible with Socket AM2?

[W.O.T. Stang]

I'm upgrading my system, and I'm wondering if my socket A cooler will fit an AM2 CPU? I've looked around a bit, but i've come up with different answers. Just looking for a definite yes or no.

Also, if not, what would be a cheap, yet quiet cooler for an AM2 (4600+ x2) system that will see very little overclocking? I'd prefer something that had a controllable fan speed as well.

Only thing i've found so far is this, but newegg doesn't sell it.

I highly doubt it. I am pretty sure Socket A used the clips to hold the cooler in place and I know that AM2 uses 4 screws into the motherboard...

A good cheap cooler is the A64FreezerPro (I think those are AM2 compatible)

The answer is no.


Here is an inexpensive cooler that will meet you needs.

Check out this if you need more cooling capacity.

Good luck.

99% a NO.

uhm, the AC freezer + 7 is an awesome choice.

He is planning to use the AM2, so the Freezer 7 is a no go.

Application:
All Intel Celeron (Socket 775)
All Intel Pentium 4 (Socket 775)
All Intel Pentium D
All Intel Core 2 Duo
Core 2 Extreme Quad
