Anyway, I got 2 AMD stock HSF. one is for the x4 945, the other is for the x4 940, apparently, they're both different design, which one should I use? cuz I'm gonna use one of them for my cousin's new gaming desktop which will be using a x4 945, and I wanna know which one is the better one, so I'll slap that one in.

The one that came with the x4 940

Since I'm not gonna OC it or anything, it probably doesn't matter right? Just slap on the one that look prettier.

Either one is fine if you're running stock.

All the phenom II X4 CPUs stock HSF got heatpipes.
