I'm looking for some cooling solutions for my CPU and video card.
AMD64 3200+ MSI K8N Neo Platinum MSI 6800GT Heres a pic of my mobo  I was barely able to fit the video card in because of the Southbridge or wateva. I was wondering for my CPU what would be a good CPU fan? The thing is the mobo is poorly designed and the CPU sits so close to the video card so i don't think big CPU coolers will fit. For my video card what type would be good for cooling. I was thinking one of the zalman fans, but my video card heasink seemed already too close to the southbridge? Or a NV5. If you guys need a pic to see how everything is in my pc i can later get a webcam pic and show you how everything is. |

I use the thermaltake venus 12. It is actually one of the best air coolers for socket 939 and the best part is it is a direct replacement. You do not need to put on a new bracket on the back of the board. They make two kinds of this heatsink. A stealth model and a high performance model. I went with the high performance model cause the cooling is unbeatable even though it is a little noisey.

A heatsink fan with 92mm fan should fit in that mobo. Talking about CPU.
The xp-90 or the Hyper 48 should fit there. |

Thanks, i have 754 socket. Would they fit?
Also are there any guides to cleaning the CPU. I've read a few but none supplied any images so i kind of get lost abit. I read they use pure alcohol... where can i get that? cleaning with a cloth? Credit card or something similiar to smear the thermal paste on. Things like that... Do you know any websites that give visuals and text on cleaning the CPU or Video card gpu. Does anyone have any images |

Yeah, both of them are universal, so they fit in socket 754.
And for the cleaning and thermal paste, read those articles: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread....hreadid=146977 http://www.articsilver.com/arctic_si...tions_big2.htm |
