Many heatsink and fan kits are compatible with both Intel and AMD sockets. Check the specifications carefully, though.

How can someone replace an Intel Core Duo Processor?
You can replace an Intel Core Duo Processor by first removing the heatsink and/or fan from the processor and removing the old thermal paste. Apply thermal paste to the new Intel Core Duo Processor and reseat the heatsink and/or fan.
Does the Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 come with a heatsink and fan?
No, this is a processor designed for laptop computers, so the heatsink and fan will have to be specific to your laptop. You can reuse the current equipment.
What is the optimal fan speed of an Intel Pentium 4?
The optimal fan speed depends on the size of the heatsink and the clock rate of your processor. As such, there is no single answer.
Can a AMD2 939 socket fan and heatsink work for a Intel 775 socket processor?
It depends... Look up the heatsink in question to determine compatibility. It may require a new set of mounting hardware, but most heatsink manufacturers try to maximize compatibility.
Is the heatsink and fan required to cool down the CPU or can i build a computer without any heatsink or fan for the CPU?
A heatsink and fan is required. Without at least a heatsink, the processor would get way too hot in a very short period of time. This overheating of the processor could permanently damage it and render it useless.
What are the two major components of a processor cooler assembly?
fan and heatsink
When you buy i5 do you get a heat sink with it?
If you buy a retail boxed processor, yes. You do get a heatsink fan (HSF) with the processor.
What is the optimal fan speed of an Intel core 2 quad q6600?
The fan speed is really dependent on the size of the heatsink. A large heatsink can use a slower fan, while a smaller one will need a much faster fan.
How hot should your processor get?
There is a certain operating range for each type of processor. As long as you install the proper heatsink and fan, your processor should never overheat. If you plan to overclock your processor, (make it work faster than it's really intended to) then you need to take the necessary steps to keep it cool. Such steps can include adding a bigger heatsink, a faster fan, and/or adding liquid cooled hoses to it.
How good is the AMD Dual-core A4-3400 Accelerated Processor?
It is fairly cheap to buy. When installed with HD graphics card, it is very fast on both Windows 7 64-bit OS. Very silent fan heatsink - well worth the money.
What is the best CPU cooler by performance not by money?
The Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus is a very high performance cooler which i have used many times in overclocking both amd and Intel chips. and for a price of around $30 you cant beat it. Just be sure that your case has sufficient room because this heatsink/fan is about 6-7 inches tall. (works for Intel sockets 1155, 1156 1366, and amd sockets am2, am3)
How long does it take for a CPU without thermal paste on it to become totally unusable?
There's no real answer to this question. The purpose of thermal paste is to fill in microscopic gaps between the processor die and the heatsink. This allows better heat transfer to the heatsink, where it can then dissipate. Depending on factors like the architecture and speed of the processor, the size of the heatsink, and the speed of the fan, it is quite possible to run the processor without any thermal paste indefinitely, though the temperatures will likely be higher.
