AM3 and SpinQ, are they compatible?

[negreac]

Does anyone know whether the SpinQ will work on the AM# and whether the fan will face horizontally or vertically?

spinq is garbage but it will fit

Well I have an opportunity to get the spinQ for the same price as the Dark Knight. Which would you recommend. Know that if I get the SpinQ I will also be able to install a side panel fan on my case which I won't be able to do with the Dark Knight.

Here is a link to a very good web site with a lot of useful information about cpu heatsinks:

You can use the embedded search feature to find information about heatsinks for specific cpu sockets.

The Dark Knight is a better cooler and will not cause any clearance issues compared to the spinQ....
