Will I need a 3rd party?

[Guest]

I'm buying my first Athlon (a 1.4GHz Thunderbird) and I would like to know whether the retail hsf is enough (I don't plan to OC).

If you have case fans then is should be, but if you don't have any case fans then i would either look at getting some or at least a better heatsink.

If course it will!!!
Why else would AMD bundle it with their proccessors?? Do you think AMD wants your CPU to burn on purpose and lose money??

It should be fine. However, if teh temps are too hot, just open up teh case.
