AMD stock cooler

[Arcanekitten]

so i have upgraded my pc and my old pc i want to use for a media pc.
and my new pc has a hyper 412S and i still have the stock cooler of the fx 8350 but my old pc thermal paste is gone of the stock cooler so is it possible to put the fx 8350 stock cooler on the Phenom 2 X4 965 Black edition ?
then i can save myself some euro's to buy thermal paste
also i have a Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 motherboard in the media pc

Yes, the FX 8350 cooler will work on the Phenom II X4. Just keep in mind to thoroughly clean both the cooler and CPU before applying new thermal paste.

Yep, just make sure to use thermal paste. I had a stock 8320 cooler on a Athlon II X4 recently.

Nope, you can't use thermal compound that was left back on the heatsink from a removal, it may be contaminated and unable to form a proper seal

Wipe it off properly and lay a new set of compound

No, don't re-use thermal paste. Clean it and put new thermal paste on.
