K7 cooling fan on a socket 939 CPU

It's a Thermaltake Volcano 11 fan.

1-will it fit?

2-is it up to the job?

 

That fan should be an 80 mm fan if you are using the stock heatsink Amd packaged with the processor it will not fit it accepts an 70mm fan. You could find an adapter online. 70 to 80 mm The shipping on it would probably be high thoough.

 

I need to clarify. I was not clear at all, was I? It's the whole cooler I'm asking about, the heatsink and all. Sorry about the confusion.

 

Personally, I wouldn't bother. I find the stock AMD cooler (and Intel) do a great job and are very quiet.

You will find it's noisey unless turned down, which then affects cooling performance.

They can also be fiddly to fit depending on the motherboard.


If you must have an after market cooler, I'd be looking at the CoolerMaster X Dream or the Gigabyte G-Power Cooler Pro.

Having said that, I still think the stock coolers are better.
