Caporegime
with all the hot weather lately, and due in the near future, i have been increasingly drawn to what an annoying sound the stock AMD cooler is on my 955BE, its not just annoying, it positively screams!
So with this in mind i set about today to shut it up for good.
part1, buy a suitable cooler, this will do- http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-009-TI&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=1395
must say its huge, never realized it was this big.
thank the lord for these cut outs in the motherboard tray, on goes the backplate.
insert the screws and the bolts with the little white washers
after applying some Artic silver5, its time to put the actual cooler on.
had to move the ram sticks to the next bank.
attach the fan.
slide the motherboard tray back into the case, sit back and relax
after powering back up, its time to see the results, keep in mind the thermal paste has now got to cure.
