I have the stock AMD cpu fan from a Socket 939 Athlon 64 3200+ 2.0ghz retail bundle. Will the included CPU fan and heatsink be enough to safely cool my new Athlon 64 4000+ 2.4ghz OEM processor?

Edit: I have the San Diego core... grr... I don't wanna have to buy another fan! Will this be okay?

The heatsink fan you have is for a 67watter S939 3200+. Your Athlon 64 4000+ 2.4 Ghz could either be Sledgehammer core (89watts) or San Diego core (104watts). Your current stock HSF is not enough. My favorite for the San Diego core would be a Thermalright Ultra but I think my spare Scythe Ninja will also do fine.
