Newegg TV Arctic Silver CPU Heatsink Fan Replacement Guide

every cpu heatsinks mounts a little different for amd and intel cpu

Cooling fan to CPU are come along with the CPU. You can use any other fan, having speed regulator pin, ie, the connector wire to it will have three conductors. Keep a close look at the size and seating screws to its body to the heat-sink of the CPU.

I see why you are here. The website s#@.
It looks like you would remove the on board square and replace it with this because it appeared to snap in. Push down to install. Try not to remove anything if you have 4 holes in your board. What board and processor do you have?

Rate this as a fixya if it fixes your problem.

IF you check your BIOS and everything is fine, and also you run a stress test, and everything clears. They you have no problem, usually you see this error in custom builds.

rate pls
