badboyrog2 :
well...you need to remove the motherboard to install the cpu cooler because of the bad design of your pc case
anyway its always easier this way , its just a pain in the ...
Well after all that and a good most of the day i transferred everything into new old case i have which it turns out is a Chieftec Dragon DX-01B-D large Midi tower much more room in side compared to my old one did a couple of mod's inducing adding a Powercool Glaciar Pro Series 12cm silent fan in the case side door.. So all this and it turns out to be a waste of time really as the Cooler Master Hyper 212X won't fit my Dell Studio XPS 435MT mother board. well pi**ed.
it is Dell special so you cant fit the mounts etc.....Bit annoyed at Dell. putting it mildly..
So I think after all this i am going to swap out my motherboard for an equivalent where i can use all my existing Memory, graphics card etc. with upgrades possibly at least i have much better airflow now just waiting for a couple of Nexus 80MM silent fans to finish it all.... I don't suppose someone could give me a hand and advice as to what motherboard i should be looking for please.. Thanks as i said i am not too bright at this sort of thing but plod on.. what type of board do i need to look for?? hopefull a second hand one.. thanks again
