Only problem with my upgrades is I didn't have enough thermal paste to properly cover the CPU. The fan kicks in faster, new paste should be here either today or tomorrow. Hopefully using it like this won't do much harm.![]()
Still the 965? When I got it, I read everywhere that it heats up like a motherbitch so I got a Hyper 212 EVO to go with it, that's what everyone was recommending. That thing is an absolute monster of a heatsink. It's humongous!
Thankfully it also cools like a champ.
These are the old bits ready for eBaying:
Spoiler warning:
Sold those old parts on eBay for £80 + £15 postage.
Ordered a new CPU heatsink/fan for my Phenom.
Zalman CNPS10X Optima Heatsink and Fan for £16.66 and whatever postage (monday) so £24 ish.
They did it again! new city, new CL listings and people are still trying to convince others that old == beginner.Originally Posted by Craigslist
Compare the price you sold your mobo/cpu at with this:
