AMD x64 HS on an Intel P4?

[DeadlyAura]

I have a HSF for my x64 that I am not using. I have the whole motherboard bracket and everything. My mom's PC idles at 47C and loads a 65*C (thats as far as I pushed it, it will probably go higher). Can I drop my old x64 HS in there to cool it down or is it a different style on the motherboard?

Different mobo. AMD heatsinks mount in two holes that are parallel to the CPU socket. Intel heatsinks mount in four holes at the corner of the CPU socket. No go dude.

Well, actually, there was no reply within 30 seconds and my ADD kicked in. So I went ahead and tried it. And actually, the stcok AMD HS mounts in teh 4 corners just like the P4. So I thought, hey, thats pretty sick.

Then I went to go attacht the HS itself and the North Bidge AND the Powersupply interfere with the clips. So no go. Damn you prebuilt Gateways...

But I figure, I can still lower temps. I'll undervolt it a bit, put a larger fan on teh inadequate HS, and apply some AS5. The old compound was dried and craked and flaked off when I pulled off the HS. What the hell does Gateway use? Mud?
