| 1143066 | 2010-10-10 04:00:00 | how do you quote two different replies at the same time? is there a smart way of doing so? :D By manually typing the [tags] tabs, or by copy / pasting them from elsewhere. |

| 1143072 | 2010-10-10 10:17:00 | The important thing would be to compare the wattage of the two CPUs. If you're upgrading to a Brsibane core running at 65w, and your old CPU was rated for 89w, then of course you'll be fine :) Just use some thermal paste, the brand doesn't matter too much. Just put a smal pea-size amount in the middle of the CPU, when you fit the heatsink it will spread out | forrest44 (754) | ||

Just put a smal pea-size amount in the middle of the CPU, when you fit the heatsink it will spread out Hmm, judging by the data on these two pages (1 (www.cpu-world.com), 2 (www.cpu-world.com)) I'll be going from a 45W to a 65W, so I'm guessing I'm going to need a new HS/Fan? |

| 1143074 | 2010-10-10 22:43:00 | Well you could try using it, often they will just re-use the same cooler for 65w and 45w (someone correct me if I'm wrong?) Just watch your temps, i they stay under 55 deg or so you should be fine | forrest44 (754) | ||
