Well, I can't find a proper fan for this anywhere, so I am just going to use a crappy no-name 80mm fan for now, but it should still be way better then my stock cooling on my Opty165 right?! The stock fan is only 70mm if I am not mistaken, and the HS is not as good, so I can't see how my temps wouldn't go down even with a crappy 10cfm 80mm fan.
In any case, I read the installation instructions on the xp90c, and it says I have to take the whole housing off the mobo? The one that surrounds the CPU? Is that right? How do I take it off anyway, isn't it like glued on there? Or just remove the screws?
I was kind of hoping the new xp90c would pop in the same way as the stock heatsink, using the nice stock clip that is so easy, but that is not the case, am I right?
I am going to install it tomorrow, so I'd just like a heads-up before I get stuck..
Anything else I should know?
