Hi,

Does this mobo need a heatsink and fan for the processor?

I have one here for repair and its the first time I've had a system that has no heatsink or fan on the processor.

Regards
 
All systems need at least a heatsink on the processor.

If youve ran it without youve probably killed it

The arctic cooler would be a good choice
 
All cpu's will need some sort of heatsink, they will overheat very quickly hopefully there thermal protection should shutdown the cpu.
 
Reason I ask is the system I have here the owner has never used a heatsink and fan for the last 3 years?

Told him to get one asap.

Regards

No heatsink on the cpu :eek:
I'm surprised he even got the thing to run without it shutting down on high temp, unless the the cpu is throttling to about 1mhz which keeps the temp below shutoff :eek:
Can you post any pics!
 
Sorry for my late reply, forgot to respond :) LOL

Anyway, cant remember the PC now but I think I installed a cooler for the system owner, well I think I did!

Thanks and if I had photo's I would have posted them up.

Regards
 
Update.

I had the system back for a case, power supply and graphics card upgrade and still he's not installed a cooler?

Can anyone recommend one cheap so I can get this up and running again for him.

LOL just caught up with this thread and I still have the PC here a little late on a fix 4 years late to be honest.

The owner has never come back for it.
