Unless it for some reason does not fit your motherboard/case (some coolers take up a huge area) then yes.

IF the heatsink is built for a socket A chip.... and your using a Socket A chip...reguardless of it's model/make/speed.... whatever, it'll work.... You can use High end heatsinks on a low end model.... JUST DO NOT DO IT THE OTHER WAY AROUND..... i personally don't like the smell of boiling silcon...  |

It depends on the cooler too, some coolers don't fit in certain motherboards like mkk stated.  If you'd like more confirmation about all of this, mention the name of the cooler you're looking into. |

check the heatsink manufacturer's site for compatibility with your MB.

Though actually for you you can run it fanless. My thermalright is really good fanless. Dont expect to be doing any overclocking of course, but its pretty good fanless.

Stay away from the V12, I know from experiance. Either go SI-97 or SLK series (both thermalright). The Zalman coolers are also good.
