Cooling for a CPU

I am getting a Celeron 1.1ghz processor and I need to know what type of HSF combo to get.
Would the one I have for my Celeron 600mhz work?

www.legionhardware.com has a really good round up with a decent look at the recent HSF's out there.
see it here

Ultimatly, it all depends on whether you plan to overclock it or not.
If not, a stock class H.S./F. that meets the rated MHz will do fine. In fact, if you have good case ventalation, you can get away with using just a HeatSink. Best to have a fan though.
For overclocking though, get the best H.S./F. you can afford. But read some reviews first. There are many H.S./F.'s that claim to be high performance coolers, but in testing, they weren't any better than a stock cooler, and sometimes worse!

I am not going to overclock, and I am going to buy a few more case/slot fans for my computer.
I am going to see if the HSF I have now will work with the new CPU.

Last time I checked, reatil Intel processors still came with a HSF combo. I could be wrong though.

Right you are Darky!, but he may be trying to save money by buying a OEM processor.
But if it were me, and I wasn't going to overclock the chip, I'd go ahead and spend the extra couple bucks to get a retail chip and have a 3 year warranty, instead of the OEM 30 day warranty.
Nice insurance incase of a really bad power surge or something wierd like that.
Though, I should state that my knowledge is based on Pentium III CPU's. I've never bought, nor used a Celery chip. I would think they'd be the same though.

Well, a few years back when I was building my celery 500 system, It came with a HSF. So I'd assume newer ones would still come with the HSF combos.
Unless those 2$ HSF they came with were removed so they could save more money.

That is what I was planning on doing. I found an OEM 1.1ghz for $70 then a Retail 1.1ghz for $84.
I may just end up getting the retail one instead, it would make everything a lot easier.
