Arctic Freezer 64 replacement
Posted: Mon Aug 29, 2011 4:09 am
I got a PC about five years ago that shipped with an Arctic Freezer 64 CPUD heatsink and fan. The other day the fan became dislodged and one of the fins snapped off.
My mobo is an A8n-SLI and I am using an AMD processor - the heatsink therefore utilizes a mounting bracket for socket 939.
Not onlyhas the fan got a snapped fin, but the one of the fiddly little mounting nipples on the heatsink to which the fan attaches also sheared off.
So, I need help finding a CPU heatsink and fan that matches the following criteria
- compatible with socket 939 processor
- mounts on the exisiting bracket (I really do not want to have to take out the mobo)
- has similar dimensions to the Arctic 64 (roughly 10cm by 11 cm by 12.5cm) so that it doesn't interfere with the memory sockets.
Can anyone assist please?
