Adding a fan & Heat sink stuff


Well there's not much to say here, adding air flow around a heat sink will keep it MUCH cooler.

You can mount the fan near the sink, on the sink, blowing or pulling air through the sink the more air flow the cooler. Also remember that more air flow means more noise and more dust flow. I recommend medium speed fans or a stylish fan speed controller.

And you can remove the sink from the board and remove the heat sink compound. Then replace it with Arctic Silver. This is very effective on older system where the compound has dried up.
