Hello all, I have an AthlonXP1800 which is going to be fitted with a quieter fan/heatsink unit. I would like to use the original Athlon heatsink on my 400Mhz K63 computer, with no fan. Would the Athlon XP1800 rated heatsink be enough on it's own to cool the K63, with no fan? Have a good weekend!

I have this running fine at 166*13.5= 2250 (2800+) and chip temp 49C whilst doing some major number crunching..
