Disassembling Radiator Problem.

[Livy]

aaah, that would be why, what board have you got?

You might not actually need to replace the heatsink and fan, instead if u remove the old fan and can get a case fan to blow air across it, this might be enough., though u should monitor temperatures closely. (Also is there no chance of fitting the new fan to the old heatsink?)

[Livy]

what about something like this.

I'm not sure because the new fan I brouth is provided with the coppered radiator
So the new fan might not cool the chip enought

[Livy]

just wondering, but what is the reason for you changing the cooler? i think the cooler you mean is the northbridge chip.

[leonidas]

Because mine is too noisy

The name of the cooler I want to install instead is "Copper VGA Cooler"

[Livy]

as in my other post, would this not be better. http://www.zalman.co.kr/english/product/nb32j.htm

im confused now?

Thanks a lot for all your help.
I finally went to ivy's link, and then I found out that I just had to turn over my motherboard to get rid of those fixings. No I've install the new heatsink & the fan, & my pc is quite more silencious.
Thanks a lot guys!

It's the heatsink for your chipset that you're talking about.

They are glued on and can be removed,

Just one thing in case that someone would have the same problem I had & would read this topic: In my case they were not glued.
