Northbridge Fan

Hi Folks,

I brought a new northbridge fan (40mm) and it has a blue square on the
bottom and a white square of something looking like paper in a little
ziplock bag.

My question is how do I attach it? Do I need to peel anything off or
anything?

Its a Coolermaster DXY-4C1XC.

Thanks

You probably shouldn't even be opening up your computer case. Just MHO....

You didn't buy just a 40mm fan, you bought a 40mm cooler that includes the
heatsink and fan. Check their website for intallation instructions. I'd
guess you are talking about a thermal transfer pad, but not being certain,
that's as far as I go.

I agree.
Al, the best thing for you to do if you want to install a NB cooler is take
your PC to a shop. I can't cost more that a few bucks to have an experienced
tech put that on for you. If you don't have experience with that sort of
thing you could cause serious damage if you install it improperly.

I sorted this out for him in another NG, gave him detailed instuctions on
what to do. I guess he just didn't bother coming back here to check for
replies as he found out what he needed. Either that or he wrecked his PC and
can't get online. g
