You forgot to re-apply thermal paste!!! Thats one of the things you need for it! lol

[Federal3t22]

I didn't forget. At 5:13 I show the pack of paste, than at 5:18 I show where it goes, than at 5:21 you see the paste already put on and I mention putting it on with my fingers.

Dude, you should show those stuff, it's one of most important.

[Federal3t22]

@Nigrilla Are you talking about the thermal paste application? I did show where to put it, than showed it applied. I think anyone would ge tthe idea of opening the package, and smearing it on. If someone's that much of a moron, and can't figure out how to open the package, and just how to apply it, than they should just leave the repair to someone who somewhat has a brain. .

i know this video is old but i was hoping for a reply,im 16 and i want to buy a fan for my computer to reduce the heat and i dont know what find of cooler is alrdy in my pc but its HUGE it goes from the motherboard to about 1/3 of height till it reaches the top case the fan also has kinda like, a cylinder around the perimiter of the fan to about 2/3rds of the height of the case, does this mean my fan is absolute crap? would replacing it with a 15$ cooler be a good start? thanks please reply!

Up to 3 fans? Wow, if you count the one in my power supply i have 7. I can make that 8 easily.

Then again my case is the size of an elephant.

And $20+tax? I can get a cooler like that for ~£6 inc. VAT
