I have a Dell Dimension 8100 with a p4 3ghz processor and 775 socket compatablity. I have some problems with its fan, everytime I lauch any program the fan starts to give some sound and it blows at a high speed. So I think that the paste on the heatsink is almost over or it might be the fan issue. So can anyone tell me what is the best heatsink that I can use to replace the old ones. Thank you my Overclocking & Computer Modification
I think that if you have a good tower then you shouldnt worry about the replacing the heatsink. But if you dont then I suggest you to buy:
So, the last thing you can do is you have to remove the motherboard to install the cooler.
