Howdy, all. TIA.
I've been told that since the computer is a Dell Precision T3500, and there by proprietary in a lot of ways, there's really no way to replace the HS. HS gets air from two fans in front cage. I've added one 90 mm fan as exhaust.
Still, CPU temps seem high. Prime95 didn't kill, I killed Prime95 at the 90 C mark. Too high for an X5560, according to ARK.
Other than cable management, which I need to address, the only thing I can do is remove the HS, clean everything up, and apply fresh TIM. I bought some noctua NT-H1.
As I stated earlier, I guess there's no way to install a better HSF, so I'm stuck with this HS. It's pretty beefy, I'm guessing that the TIM that Dell used is just useless. Date Of Manufacture is 2009.
I really love this computer, and I can't afford to replace it.
I've searched YT for vids about how to remove the HS, add TIM, then replace it.
Do I have to pull the MoBo? Pain in the ass, it seems, not sure. Since I got the computer I've replaced the PSU, storage, and GPU. I'm not afraid to get into the guts.
