Hi guys. I have a optiplex 3470 which has a i5 8400 installed. I am about to buy a new micro atx Motherboard Will the stock cpu cooler fit on the new board or is it dell only ? Thanks
thanks for the quick response. i can remove and reuse the CPU though right ? with a new coolerDell Optiplex 7010 DT motherboard uses proprietary fan headers. You will not be able to reuse fans on new motherboard (including cpu fan).
TLDR - CPU cooler will fit. Fan connector will not fit.
let me just check. this is a pc im building for my nephewOhh .. got mixed up in model names.
So your pc is
DELL Vostro 3470 or DELL Inspiron 3470. Right?
Those have normal 4pin fan headers.
Because there is no Optiplex 3470.
