it comes in 2 verisons, one is lga 775, the other is k8...

Ok, so K8 refers to the whole K8 architecture sockets, I wasn't sure because most of the "K8" ones are only 939/754.

So it will work?

id like to add that a xp-90 is about 3-4 years old it seems.. and is overpriced for the performance it gives.. i have 4 of them so they arent that bad but i wouldnt pay more than 20$ shipped and partial reason for me getting them is they look cooler than teh stock heatsinks but they are really not that much better in performance unless 92mm high performance fan is used.. and then it is louUUUd

This is the ULTRA-90, so it has to be uber 1337

www.thermalright.com -> AMD Coolers

“In order to use Ultra-90 on an AM2 system, you must purchase a K8 version of the Ultra-90 and an AM2 RM (Rev. A)."

There is a special bracket you need to be able to mount it on AM2 boards which doesn't seem to come in the package.

Is there any particular reason you want this cooler because it's not anything special?

well it is cheap and might have that part at svc.com.. fuxors at svc.com barely speak english and hardly get your order right but its very cheap and nice layout..

svc.com has them for at most 15$ compared to newegg's 23+

Exactly.

svc also sells the screw down bracket kit for the cooler as well. I bought one to use on my tforce 550 and it works like a champ. worth the extra $8 or so it was. I despise the damned lever-type brackets.

i have one with a quiet fan on it-works great on my 3600x2 overclocked to 2.9 ghz

PLEASE link me
Yeah, I don't really have to worry about heat now as my Brisbane is @2.7 with stock volts, but want to see what this bad boy WILL do. Using AC Alpine 7 now.

Oh. I wasn't aware they're so cheap. Plus, I had XP-90 on my mind, not the Ultra-90, I apologize to all. Ultra-90 is ok.
