Inspiron 570 CPU cooling - heatsink
Hi
I am having problems installing aftermarket Rocketfish CPU cooler, because I am trying to update from Athlon II x2 250 to as high as possible. The problem is with awkward heatsink mounting - none of the standard solutions can be applied here. I am at the point of finishing (phenom II x4 965) or if not successful just forget it and install Athlon II x4 640, the highest tested Athlon for Inspiron 570.
Question I have here. What heatsink is installed in Inspiron with Athlon II x4 640, same as with Athlon II x2 250 or better?
This is c957n standard heatsink for Inspiron 570:
Any info appreciated.

We only have two based on the CPU -
C955N Heatsink & Fan Assembly for 95W CPUs
C957N Heatsink & Fan Assembly for 65W CPUs
But, I do not know the wattage of the 640?

I see now that c955n is a bit larger than c957n - how I could miss that?! So I am cooked, I guess - I need aftermarket heatsink anyway, am I?

Thanks for the fast replies
This is Dell K078D C955N CPU Heatsink:
I don't see any major differences between c955n and c957n, so my best guess is the CFM of the fan - fan power? Basically, if I am not successful with 965 setup, I can just get 640 or 645 Athlon and use existing heatsink?
Mine 250 TDP I guess 65W versus 640 95W. I run OCCT 4.0 for 1 hour and got maximum 50 C on standard c957n and Athlon II X2 250...
Thanks in advance
