Q&A: How do I know whether a CPU cooler fan will be compatible?
Question by Will B: How do I know whether a CPU cooler fan will be compatible?
I bought my computer ready built with an AVC CPU cooler fan, unfortunately it has just died on me and I need a replacement. After research I have found that my specific heatsink and fan are no longer in production and I don’t know which cooler will be compatible with my system. I can only describe the cooler as a large cube heatsink with a fan on top, and to mount it to the motherboard it has two metal clips which straddle each side of the fan and heatsink and clip on to a plastic mounting on the motherboard on each corner at the bottom of the heatsink. This may sound complicated but I can hopefully clear up any confusion if you ask.

Graphics whether animated or 3D require a lot of processing which means tehy run hotter trying to run your display of the graphics.
Best cure for this is to buy a top end video card such as nvidia which has more MBs and its own fan on card
