Looking for cpu cooling, that I don't have to take out the mobo for

[Megabanzo]

So, my case won't allow me to install a cooling system that has mounting components on the back of the mobo, and I really don't want to have to take it out of the case, so I'm looking for a cooling system that mounts completely from the front of the mobo. I currently have the freezer xtreme, which isn't doing it's job any properly anymore since it got a little banged up when I shipped my rig somewhere, and I have to be able to sufficiently cool the FX-8350 on the Asus m5a78l USB 3 mobo. Thx for your time.

Have you tried cleaning the thermal paste and applyin a new good one?

 

[Megabanzo]

Yeah I've reapplied the thermal pastr recently actually. My thinking is that, one or more of the copper tubes has been raptured. Don't know if that makes sense.

Copper is quite a hard material so unless you accidentally smashed it with a hammer, it's highly unlikely that happened from a little bang like you said.

It came off during shipping, so it would have been banged around inside the case for about a week
