My computer recently overheated.... MB shut down computer on my, (I have bios shut down when CPU reaches 75c).
Never had this problem, but I know that the air flow in my case is not the best, since my graphics card blocks most of the air intake to the CPU. I know that I probably should get a new case, but was first going to try the CPU Fan, since i'm still running stock, and didn't have any overheating issues until I cleaned all the dust out, (but put some generic thermal grease on, which was probably my problem...)
anyway, I have been debating against a couple of heat sink fans, but thought I would ask here to see which is best.
I currently have a AMD 754 socket, Athlon 64 3400+. I would like to buy a fan that would work for my next system as well, (thus, the reason these fans say they are compatible with all the new socket types, and the one i'm using.) If it is better just to get one for my current system then please say so...
I am looking at these:
Newegg.com - Buy Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras and more!
I did look at the ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro since its recommended so much, but it won't work with my system. I will be sure to get MX-1 or Artic Silver 5 for the thermal grease this time.
Planning to order stuff off newegg. Half the problem is that I don't know what will fit in my case, so if you have the one your recommending, then please, if possible, send dimensions.
Thanks!
