will that fit my cpu? i have an intel 2500k cpu, please only post if you know about computers and know it will fit. thank you.

 

Yes it will.

 

are you sure of this? how hard is it to install a cpu fan on my own? what tools will i need?

 

Positive. Your cpu is socket 1155, and you cooler fits socket 1155.
As to how hard it is and what toolsbyou will need, most likely a screw driver, and thats about it. It is extremely easy, it should come with instructions. Badically unplug the old one and plug the new one in.

 

thank you man, appreciate it.

 

what kind of screwdriver would i need?

 

Make sure you buy more thermal paste as well. If you don't, you'll fry your CPU. Go with Arctic Silver.

As for the screwdriver, nothing special. It'll more than likely be a philips head screwdriver. Make sure you have a long one handy as you may need one with the extra length.

 

i have no idea what thermal paste is or how you use it.

is this product sufficient? http://www.amazon.com/Arctic-Silver...&qid=1342424444&sr=8-1&keywords=thermal+paste

can someone/n4no link a guide on how to do it correctly? the CPU is already installed, i am just ordering this cpu cooler off amazon to attach to it for better cooling. where will i put the thermal paste?

 

It's fairly easy, but this guide should explain it thoroughly.

i'm not just concerned with the application of the thermal paste, i'm not familiar with how to uninstall my old cpu fan and install a cpu cooler. should i be ok?

 

Just plug out your computer and remove the CPU cooler with a screw driver, if your lucky you might be able to use the same power cable from your PSU with your new fan. Building a computer isn't as hard as many people think.

 

is it hard to remove the motherboard? do i just have to unscrew it?

 

You don't need to remove the motherboard to put a new cpu fan in.

But if you're just wondering, all you have to do is get a phillips head screwdriver and remove the screws around the edges of the board. There should be 6-10 total depending on the board I believe.

 

You don't have to remove the motherboard from the case to install a CPU cooler on the CPU lol. Arctic is the way to go btw if you want a good one for a good price.

 

If you have one of those really heavy CPU coolers, which need to be screwed in, you will need to take your motherboard out of your case, as you will need to fit a bracket underneath.

A lot of coolers nowadays come with push pins, which do not require you to take off your motherboard.

 

i think this one has screws so it looks like i'll need too. thanks for all the help guys.

such a good deal.

 

If you can spend $80-$100 I'd go with Noctua NH D-14 or Thermaltake Silver Arrow, the best in the $100 bracket for cooling, hands down.

You can find the heatsink on newegg and check the specifications for measurements then simply check on your mobo and see if it'll fit. Regarding thermal paste, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRRWbQUqW1Y

 

i already bought the cpu cooler, its on the way. 100$ is a little much for just a cooler to me.

 

i had the noctua d14 on a previous PC i built, now i own the corsair h100. the corsair h100 owns the d14. i put the fan speed on my h100 on the lowest and its silent.
