Ok, someone asked me what heatsink I was gonna use and I dont what too say. Im getting the AMD 3200+ Venice from Newegg and it doesnt state that it comes with a heatsink. Dont most of them? How do I find out if it comes with a heatsink? And if it doesn't, what shall I do about this. I know nothing about heatsinks. Sorry too be such a newb

Look at the end of the line listing the item. If it says "OEM", that means you are getting only the CPU itself, with no heatsink. If you the line says "Retail", then you are getting the CPU and the stock AMD heatsink.

Here is an example of an OEM Venice 3200+

Here is an example of a Retail Venice 3200+

As you can see above, the OEM version is just the CPU, but the retail version comes in the original packaging. Hope that helps.

Your system is good, but you should still give overclocking a shot

[diabloII]

get the retail one

you get 3 year warranty and a heat sink fan
