Hello, the CPU I just bought is an AM3, my motherboards slot is AM2+, and my motherboard's is: M2N78-LA. I was hoping for an inexpensive Heat Sink Fan on newegg, with good reviews, and that will fit in my computer. Thanks :D

What case?
If your case is 7.4"+ wide the CM 212+ and Evo are good choices.

If your case isn't as wide the TX-3 is good.

TX-3 is likely your best bet if you can measure you case width.
Measure outside case = side to side
TX-3 is 139mm tall.

Are you sure because this one is 92mm, and has better reviews, will it fit? www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103064
