The X2's are still socket 939... so any waterblock which would fit the 939 series should do fine. There shouldn't be any changes between the X2's and any other 939's... so just look up some tuts and reviews and you should be set.

yeah the x2's are phisically the same as any other a64 chip, only the powerconsumption is a bit different.

Most of the heat generated will still be in the centre of the chip. The dual core's are side by side in the middle of the chip... as such...

For pentium D's anyway... i'd assume the X2's have relatively the same layout.
