while back i bought a new CPU fan from bestbuy http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Rocketfish%26%23153%3B+-+Universal+CPU+Cooler/9462609.p?id=1218108988702&skuId=9462609
got home it would ALMOST work. my motherboard cpu heatsink has screws on the heatsink you push down and screw down. the one i bought had clips that you just pop in so it wouldnt work (both are socket 775) i have cleaned all thermal paste off and replaced with arctic silver 5. i have cleaned the motherboard and all heatsinks with compressed air. bought a new exhaust fan and done everything i can think of. computer all of a sudden jumped up to 148 degrees and will NOT go down. took video card out and used built in one and still wont go down. i need help before it burns up now. im way mine screws in is kind of like this (has the same screw holes on board (one of them are missing also and i hope that isnt causing the overheat). this is the one im talking about http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Cooler+Master+-+Hyper+212+Plus+CPU+Cooling+Fan+with+Heat+Sink/1510328.p?id=1218265765346&skuId=1510328 ------------------------------------ If you have any questions or problems with any aspect of this site, please feel free to contact me directly [email protected] Please do not post personal issues directly to the group.
