Can anyone direct me to a decent brand that sells 70MM CPU fans with heatsink combos. All the ones I've bought fail within the month. 🙁

Its going to look huge to you but it will fit. The instructions that come with this Cooler are horrible. Its best to go to you tube and search for "How to install the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO on AMD FX": Here are the results, watch a few of the videos:

You will need to remove the old thermal paste from your CPU before you install the new cooler. The Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO comes with good thermal paste.


The reason I recommend this cooler is its fairly easy to install, I know because I own...

Well, I don't know much about them. I measured the cpu slot and I don't think my case can fit anything bigger, unless I'm mistaken.

 


Motherboard: 760GM-P34(FX)
CPU:3.80 gigahertz AMD FX-4300 Quad-Core
Case:Thermaltake mid-sized tower. (Not sure on the specifics).
 
Somewhere on your Thermaltake case, it will say the model of the case. We will need that model. Alternatively, you can browse through http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/chassis.aspx website till you find the case that looks like yours. How old is your case?

With my Thermaltake case, there was no model name or number on it. I had to go through each of the options on the side of their web page to find it. For example mine ended up being a Mid Tower V series:

http://es.thermaltake.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00001772 I found my case. The model number was stamped on the bottom. Also, thank you for taking the time to help me and being understanding of my limited PC knowledge. :) (The link is from Spain, just did a google search and that came up.)

 


At this point I'd pay up to 100 dollars to get one that doesn't break on me, haha.
Just to clarify I'm looking for a CPU cooler with a heatsink combo. My heatsink has malfunctioned as well.

The reason I recommend this cooler is its fairly easy to install, I know because I own one. Its very effective, Has a good warranty, in inexpensive, is highly recommended and compared to some CPU Coolers is fairly light in weight.

This is a good video too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vO4yokgcOY4

Thank you! I will order one tonight. You said they're bundled with thermal paste? I'll still need to buy some more surface purifier and remover then.
