G'morning all,
While there are a few threads on this, none contain what I wanted to know.
I have an ASUS A8N-SLI Premium; I installed an XP-120 and used Ceramique on my X2 4400+ on Sunday. I had a very hard time getting the clips under the bracket (the one that came with the XP-120) on the left side, the side the northbridge is on. I was able to get one corner on (upper left), but the other side (lower left) I had to use the file on my Leatherman to push down the clip on the XP-120 until it fit under the bracket.
I'm using a Nexus Real Silent 120mm on it, plugged into the CPU_FAN jack; it's running at about 1100 RPMs according to SpeedFan and EVEREST.
I'm only seeing a 1-2 degree difference, leading me to think that in my endeavours to get the HSF installed, the TIM got all pushed around.
I was previously using a Tt A1772.
1) How did you get that side of the XP-120 installed?
2) How can I increase the RPM of the fan? Not permanently, just to see what happens. I tried SpeedFan but couldn't get it to do anything.
I'll probably reinstall it next Sunday if it stays this way.
Thank you!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
