^^ +1.. I know elite 430 has a hole where the processor is mounted.. but is that enough?I have read in reviews that one needs to take the motherboard out for installing n520. Also, , the n520 n n620, have 2 fans, so can these be installed in elite430 without touching the side panel or the top ?
I've found that hole to be enough though you may need someone while installing - ask your family member or your buddy to hold the cooler while you are going to tighten the screws.
I've installed Hyper 212 ( even with two fans ) and that's not a small cooler by any means - if you are going to install Hyper N520 on a AMD mobo you may not able to install a top case fan ( same happened with hyper 212 ) but if you don't want to experiment too much and still want some good cooler get the Hyper 212+
^^ Your CPU core temps are though on Higher side still within safe limits but your cputin (cpu case case temp ) is too much high though it may be a wrong reading but 121C ( max your cpu is around 72C ) is not a normal temp anyway - can you reinstall your HSF with a fresh layer of new TiM or get a new cooler. BTW, did you OCed the cpu anyway
After playing GTA 4....
Thanks for the reply . I saw your cabby pics of elite 430 + cm 212, and i saw that the cooler is pretty much big, and to avoid doing and R & D or experiment, i will not go for n620 or n520.
So , i would like to ask you one more query, how much difference did you notice after installing hyper 212?? My Phenom ll 955be reaches to 62degress, and i expect atleast 10-12 degress less when i install this hyper 212+( at full load )
I havnt OCed...
I cleaned the HSF n applied TIM on 20th march(4 days ago) only
Actually wat is CPUTIN, can u explain?
Any more suggestions??
