Computerhilfen.com: changing the cooler

hey guys, can i easily change my pc cooler? it got kinda loud lately, but I dunno which one it is (the cpu or the videocard's?)

thanks!

If you have no experience in doing this, you should better not touch this. Removing and changing the cooler is really scary - if you make something wrong or forget something, you could melt your cpu...

If its the power unit that makes too much noise, just change it against a "silent" version. Also the videocard might be working as a passive cooled (no fan) version.

I had success with cleaning the fans carefully (at an NOT RUNNING!) computer with a hoover - but, be careful, dont touch anything inside the pc with the hoover etc.

hi,

u should ´ve a look on your chipset fan, these silly things are small and rev´ quite high, they can sound really nasty ;D
