I have a kingwin aquastar and it says
PHP:
 For Intel P3 & P4, LGA 775 and AMD K7 & K8 CPUs.

will that work with socket am2 also?

Yes. All AM2 CPUs are K8.
 
For the heatsink bracket? No. Socket 939 ones had two mounting screws, but AM2 has four. More even heatsink pressure.

So you'll need either a AM2 bracket for that or you'll have to get something else.
 
You could check their website or contact the manufacturer and see if they have a bracket available for AM2.
 
It does say K8 CPUs...but when was the product released, the info it provides might be outdated.

I don't have to take the bracket off (the little black thing), its just clips like the ones on fans.
