So I am trying to learn more about the CPU and how to keep it cool. I have heard that the sink/fan the AMD chip comes with is not so goood and is very loud. Can someone recomend a decent sink/fan that will be quiet and make sure CPU is not to hot?
Also the chip is supposed to come with factory thermal paste? so if i get a replacement I would need to buy paste?
I plan on getting an additional 120 case fan to help cooling more.
I do not plan on overclocking just yet as I am still so new and all this but may in the future and just trying to nip some future upgrades
Can anyone recomend a replacement sink and fan for this AMD chip?
