Can you use a socket 939 heatsink (or any other socket, for that matter) on a AM2 proc? im wondering because there arent too many AM2 heatsinks around, and im guna need a good one (zalman, thermaltake, ect) for my AMD FX-62 that im thinking of getting. (please, if im spending $1,300 CND on something that isnt worth it, speak up

The mounting system is different, its a 4 screw retention plate... you'll need either new mounting kit for your HSF or a totally new HSF, depending on what you've got
