1.	Solve : Heatsink and fan?
Answer» Hi, I just GOT a NEW motherboard (MB ECS GOAL3+(1.1C) W/SEMPRON 3000+ 1 N82E16835150087 CPU COOLER ) and heatsink (CPU COOLER MASSCOOL\|5F9001B1H3 R 80mm). It seems too big and wont fit. Should i have gotten a 70mm? Thanks. Did you do any research at all, before selecting that mobo and CPU? ECS is at the very bottom of the barrel of motherboards. And a Sempron CPU is NOT a good performer. You should have gotten an Athlon. They come with a stock heatsink and fan combo that's more than sufficient for cooling the processor they come with. There's NEVER any need to go shopping for a cooler when you buy an AMD processor! I just UPGRADED my own system from an Athlon X2, 64, 3800+ to a Athlon X2, 64 5200+ cpu and the cooler that came with it keeps the heatsink at nearly room temperature, under all loads. There's absolutely NO need to waste money on an Aftermarket Cooler. Cheers! Quote from: TheShadow on February 08, 2009, 09:33:27 AM ECS is at the very bottom of the barrel of motherboards.

I agree but his processor apparently did not come with a stock cooler, so he needs to know what to do now.Yes, it is just a back up (practice build).

Hi,

I just GOT a NEW motherboard (MB ECS GOAL3+(1.1C) W/SEMPRON 3000+ 1
N82E16835150087 CPU COOLER ) and heatsink (CPU COOLER MASSCOOL|5F9001B1H3 R 80mm). It seems too big and wont fit. Should i have gotten a 70mm?

Thanks. Did you do any research at all, before selecting that mobo and CPU?

You should have gotten an Athlon. They come with a stock
heatsink and fan combo that's more than sufficient for cooling
the processor they come with.

There's NEVER any need to go shopping for a cooler when you buy
an AMD processor!

I just UPGRADED my own system from an Athlon X2, 64, 3800+ to a
Athlon X2, 64 5200+ cpu and the cooler that came with it keeps the
heatsink at nearly room temperature, under all loads.

There's absolutely NO need to waste money on an Aftermarket Cooler.

Cheers!
