| 1108659 | 2010-06-10 04:26:00 | Hello i recently bought a new CPU and it did come with a fan but the fan doesn't fit that well into the motherboard.. when i install it, it seems a lil wobbly. i just wanted to know if i can use my old heat-sink fan from my Pentium E2160 (C) 1.8 GHz for a Pentium E6500 2.93 GHz?:o |

You haven't installed it correctly then, take a look at the installation pamphlet it came with. |

To be fair you've seen the C2D coolers crap evolution right? It got smaller and actually harder to install IMO (it puts far more strain on the motherboard then the older ones). Kristen Reyes, yes go ahead, in fact it should be better since the cooler is of the larger variant to allow for better cooling. |
