CPU Cooling Failed :(

JonL

I made one post
My CPU Fan/Heatsink is defective. I have never seen a computer jump from 55 to 102 C in less than 2 seconds. So no games for me until I get a replacement :(
 
Heatsink/fan combo, right? Is it easier to install than the Core 2 Quad Intel stock...That thing is a real pain..
 
Yea, thats pretty much the same thing as the Intel Stock heatsink I have. Its a real pain to install...Im getting a new one for free soon, so hopefully that will work.

Did you apply thermal paste????

That sounds exactly what happens when people either don't apply it, or apply it incorrectly.
 
Where the hell are you seeing the 212+ for $20? It's $50 at Newegg.

Read reviews on it. Newegg has bumped the price since they released an article about it being so great. $20-$30 everywhere else. always good to have more than one source of places to buy stuff.
 
Yeah, okay, but where is it for $20? I just googled it, and the lowest that came up is $23, from a random website that I would never buy from.
And I do have more than one source, but newegg is just the best.
