Core 2 Duo E7400 heat sink compatibility

[ilovemaadi]

Will any Heat sink designed for LGA 775 socket fit my Core 2 Duo E7400 processor with LGA 775 socket?

I found plenty of LGA 775 socket heat sinks on ebay but none of them mentioned my core 2 Duo e7400 processor.

Please help

Yes. All 775 socket heat sink/fans are the same mounting specs. But be aware that they come in different wattage (TDP) capacities. Your E7400 needs a 65W or better cooler. I believe the 65W was the smallest of the Intel coolers then, so it should be easy to find it or a bigger one.

Thank you for your reply, does that mean that I can pick a heat sink / fan designed for a processor such as Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 with 65 watt, 2.13 GHz for my Intel Core 2 Duo E7400, 65 watt, 2.80 GHz as long as the Thermal Design Power (TDP) is the same 65 watt ?

Yes. They should be identical.
