I am using a EVGA nForce 680i SLI. Last week the sucker blew some capicitors, and literall made three successive popping sounds. I thought I got shot (j/k). They sent me a new one. I got some questions. I am using a dual core e6700. The thing cam with a fan and heatsink.
is there a better fan/heatsink combo that might work more effciently than the one intel provided.
what r the quietest fans?
do front panel fans provide any extra cooling?should i be using one? I want a quiet pc.
2 more questions then im done. What is the best thermal paste to use? and how do i remove the old paste from the top of the processor?
Thanks everyone
