Read through a few articles and thats why i posted. Don't know if the motherboard is compatible or if the cpu fan could take the strain.

cburbs Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 I have never seen anything in regards to that CPU fan - When I was recently looking at a amd 620 build these were the fans recommended: ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 Sunbeam CR-CCTF 120 mm Core-Contact Freezer CPU Cooler XIGMATEK Intel Core i7 compatible Dark Knight and I also read here - http://www.frostytech.com/top5heatsinks.cfm You would have to try to find other posts in regards to your MB and OC it. You can try it just watch your temps. If you see temps getting to high bring the speed, etc down a little. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malilk Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 You can try it just watch your temps. If you see temps getting to high bring the speed, etc down a little. That was the plan anyway. Haven't stress tested it yet so not sure how cool it will stay under 100% load but the fan seems to work grand under normal conditions.
