ok...i just recently bought a 1.4gig athlon t-bird 266 fsb with retail box from www.newegg.com

im wondering what the model my heatsink is....theres an AMD sticker on the top of the fan....

its solid aluminum....fatter than my old coolermaster....(definately is cooling better too...its currently at 42 after being on folding at home for quite a while now....i think its still going up, tho)

anyway...has anyone bought this same package and knows what it is?

I don't know but 42 isn't bad for load temps with a retail heatsink......

thats without any thermal paste too....save the stupid pink putty they put on.....

i would have ran out n bought some arctic silver but my koolance should be coming soon so this is only temporary

it might be a retail amd heatsink or a globelwin fop or wbk series
