Retail Chip....What else do I need with it?

CPU

I need a heatsink and fan right? Anything else?

 

yea m8 that processor oem which means you'll have to buy a fan (usually complete with heat sink but if not but a heatsink as well as well) and some thermal paste i recommened artic silver for the best cooling paste this is a silver compound that cools alot better than the regular box standard white thermal paste. hope this helps Dave :good:

 

Any chance someone could go out to newegg.com and tell me what I need? When I go out under fans/heatsinks, there are really no heatsinks available, unless I am missing something.

 

Some of tht m8 http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=35-100-007&DEPA=0

I'd check what the retail box goes for. If the difference between the retail and oem chips is $20 or less, get the retail box.

 

I would, but they don't have the retail box available.

 

Thanks a ton.............!

ZipZoomFly has the retail box for about $10 more. I've ordered some stuff from them too, and they're fine. A real good competitor to Newegg, not to mention they have a very good rating overall. Also, the retail box CPU's have a longer warranty with them. The OEM chips have whatever warranty the reseller gives them, which is frequently 30-90 days vs. 1-3+ years for the retail box. That's of course, if you give a rats arse about it (some people don't).

 

Sweet............thanks for the tip.

 

I'd check out prices between ZZF and Newegg. ZZF might trump Newegg by a few points on some stuff and vise versa.
