I just got my new heatsink/fan. But I dont think the damn thing is compatable with my motherboard.

Any way of getting it to fit?

No that cooler isn't compatible with that board.

What are you doing? A $50 cpu cooler on a $36 motherboard?

Spend less on a cooler and more on the mobo.

What was wrong with the stock cooler?

Motherboard seems to be runnning great, except for the SATA problem.

I have a problem with heat in my room so I need a good cooler

A good CPU cooler will make your room warmer.

[SingaBoiy]

A hot room will make my system hotter

True. Why do you buy things and then ask us afterwards when they don't work right. You could discuss things before.

Another thing puzzles me. Why 500 GB HDDs with a $36 mobo?

Used a PCChips Mobo in a build for a email and net PC for a family member about a year ago now. No problems as such but it was only a 256mb ram and AMD Athlon 2000XP. Mobo was only £12 so can't complain, was easy to install and no issues as of far. Wouldn't use it on anything apart from an email/internet computer.
