| Have a ringedge here with busted CPU Fan, works fine but fan is just sitting on the cpu which is not ideal, can I replace it with any other cpu fan for socket 775? Anyone done this and can recommend a replacement? |

Hi mozie hope yr well ? the fan will just be a standard 775 fan. Pretty much any cpu fan should suit. You have a picture ?? Dave. ------------- AKA Wonderboy. If there is such a thing as reincarnation , knowing my luck , I will come back as me !! |

| Yeah all good mate, thanks for the reply I ordered a standard one online for 775 looks like it's just a standard Intel stock cooler on it, clips down rather than needing a mounting plate on the back which confused me as its years since I had an Intel cpu. will give it a go when it arrives, now just need to burn the multi image to a ssd, any idea of the best tool I could use to write the Img file? |

I just replaced the pins mate. I bought some of these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Plastic-Fastener-Mount-Pin-for-Intel-Socket-LGA-775-CPU-Heatsink-Cooler-Fan/333589803315" rel="nofollow - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Plastic-Fastener-Mount-Pin-for-Intel-Socket-LGA-775-CPU-Heatsink-Cooler-Fan/333589803315 I bought mine from China though, think it was 10pc for a couple of quid. ------------- Insert Coin[s] |
