Hi,
I have an ASUS m4a785-m motherboard with an AMD Phenom 9850 quad core processor on it. I have a fan that fits over the top of it. I know nothing about this fan. I was wondering if it matters what fan I put on the processor, and if I put the wrong one on there if it will cause a problem?
Also, the computer overheated the other day, which is why I am asking. So, I am looking at picking up an aluminum case (instead of the old plastic one I have it in now). Does that actually make ad difference, and should I look into just adding a few more fans to the computer to help keep it cool?
