X2 cooling advice
I am about to order some parts from Newegg to upgrade my system, will
probably go with the MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum, and an X2-4400 processor. Are the heatsink/fans that come with these new X2 processors sufficient, or is there a better one that I should get? Thanks, -- Don |

Thanks, Others have opined that the stock fan at 70mm makes too much noise for them. Suggestions have included a 80mm to 70mm fan adapter and a nice, quiet 80mm fan. Another suggestion is a different cooling fan and heatsink. This is a nice one I use myself: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835106607 If you are planning on any significant overclocking, then more exotic cooling solutions may better suit your needs, such as: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835109123 Let us know your results. p00lb0y |
