A heat sink is a big bit of shaped metal (aluminium or copper) that is used to draw heat away from the processor, modern processors also need a fan on the heatsink.
Some thermal paste/grease is normaly needed between the processor and heatsink as well.
HTH
please could some 1 point me towards a good heatsink and fan for the above processor?

Don't buy an AMD OEM (without HSF=heatsink & fan) cpu. First they give you only 90 day warr. (sometimes 15 days). For $5-15 USD more get an AMD retail (w/HSF) & it comes w/3yr. warr. :)
What a howl! I can't even remember what I posted yesturday.Quote:
