Cooling, Power Supply help

In Cryo Sleep
My question is, will my Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 (NOT Pro) be adequate if I upgrade to a dual core CPU, probably Athlon 64 X2 4600+ or so? Before you mention it, I have checked Google, Arctic Cooling's website (only list Pro now) and I dont have the manual or box for it.

And also, does a jump from single core to dual core Athlon mean a significant increase in power usage? I reckon my Purepower must be nearing redline with all that junk I have attached to it. Cheers for any help.

i'd say that you'd be fine as you have 40A on the 5V

as for cooling the stock cooler is fine for running stock speeds but will get noisy after a few months
