What is that plastic unit used to hold the two fans over the memory? Where are they available?

Can you recommend a better heatsink fan for my retail Opteron heatsink? I am currently using the one that came with the retail cpu

How about a Model FFB0812SHE [ DC 12v, .87A, -F001Z06B ] which I have here from an unused AX7? Would this cool better than the one supplied by amd?
 
Well, you could always read the guide.

Some favorites: XP-120, Thermaltake Big Typhoon, Scythe Ninja.
 
I have read that ... the thing is I am not sure what size fans I can choose from

I know 120 mm will not fit, but whats the smallest and largest I can get on there
 
I am at 2.74 Ghz with stock volts ... the only thing is I am thinking about geting a better fan for the heatsink even though its working at 30 * and 40 * load
 
What size fan would I need to replace the Amd new heatpip fan?

80 x 25, 35 ... any 80mm?
 
Any 80mm fan works. You can always get a 80mm-92mm or 120mm fan adapter as well and use a bigger quieter fan.
 
Thanks for the links guys ... I am really just looking for a kick ass fan for the Opteron heatsink

do those unit really work? Will I get a lower PMWIC and CHIPSET temperature allowing better OC with them?

Click to expand...

because AMD won't allow anyone to alter its heatsink/fan or else it void the warranty, I won't recommend you alter it. If you do, then you might as well buy the OEM ver. w/o fan.

Anyhoo, could you post a photo of the opteron heatsink and fan, I just can't find it on the internet under google image search
