Suggestions on a AMD DTR cooler?
- Thread starter obaidk

Ummm...DTR's are all originally meant for big heavy laptops but even then, the power output is usually less than the desktop components. Remember the AthlonXP mobiles? You might want to get a new cooler if you want something more efficient or something more quiet but the stock cooler should do fine.

So you bought a "desktop replacement" Laptop (that's what a DTR is) and you got a processor that came with the fan for a desktop?
Or did you buy a "mobile processor" One that would fit into a laptop, but you're using it as a desktop processor.
I'm really confused. Please, try again.

Thank you.
It would keep it cool, but not as well as the zalman replacement.

You are aware that the Zalman has its own fan, yes? If you're going to use the Zalman that you already bought, then just toss the stock cooler in the closet. Like Arcygenical said, the stock AMD64 cooler that came with your DTR would do just as fine, but considering you already bought something better....
k thanx!and i didnt get a stock cooler with the dtr!i bought this from a guy and he had the stock cooler for the desktop amd 64 processors which he just gave 2 me!i think it leaves a gap between the hsf and the processor therefore ill just wait for the zalman!
