Hi all that are interested in this.
I was thinking about building an Athlon system for myself, but after looking
at what Tom's had to show about them vs. Intel and heat, I may rethink my
plans. I'd suggest you look at

video. Yikes!

Basicaly, yes. but, beware that the clip of heatsink is important beside of
its cooling performance. many people say they don't need to change
CPU/heatsink often, but I can tell you that even you don't do those things
often, you should still get a heatsink with easy to install/remove clip. eg.
I changed my heatsink few times since I first built my PC, and recently
upgraded to a Duron 1G, everytime I spent most of time just to remove
heatsink (without damage the cpu socket/mobo), some heatsink could require
you put half your body weight on it to install, remove them is just almost
impossible (without damage something).

If you don't mind, I recommend a heatsink with 7000rpm+ fan unit, it will be
little noisy, but give you better cooling.
*I personal prefer 8000rpm, it sounds like a small jet, but really keeping
cpu cool.

Hi all,
 Are there any heatsinks available that can be screwed to
an ASUS A7V133 motherboard?
