I have a asrock m3n78d fx that runs really hot at 78C iv been wondering if there is some way to change the thermal paste or is it a thermal pad and if I do change it with what thermal pad should I ?
That is passively cooled heatsink. Stick a fan on it - some 40mm or 60mm.I have a asrock m3n78d fx that runs really hot at 78C iv been wondering if there is some way to change the thermal paste or is it a thermal pad and if I do change it with what thermal pad should I ?
Simple small screws will do it (just not too long ones).You could probably get away using some epoxy for permanent or double sided tape for removable. Or if you can slide a zip tie under the heatsink simply use a couple and clamp it down with them.
