I had Intel® Celeron® Processor 430 (512K Cache, 1.80 GHz, 800 MHz FSB) and i bought 4 my mobo ms 7529
Intel® Pentium® Processor E5700 (2M Cache, 3.00 GHz, 800 MHz FSB) so before i install it i want to ask does anyone knows can i use the old cooler from celeron 430 for my new E5700 ?? tnx

Most coolers fit the socket that the CPU goes into, so if yo ure using the same socket the same cooler should fit.  Secondly, does the CPU you are buying come with a cooler already in the box?  new CPUs should come packaged with a stock cooler.

Personally, as a cooler for a CPU is just a heatsink and a fan, I wouldn't see the harm in running the same cooler that came stock for that socket.  I would try looking up some images of the stock cooler for that new processor though, and make sure the one you have is relatively the same size.

Each processor you mentioned uses the same socket type, so yes, you old cooler will work.
