If it's working correctly, it will ramp up properly. But I've seen this not work properly and cook stuff before so I manually set it. You sometimes have an option in the bios, but if you don't, you simply pull the blue pin out from the fan header and seal it in tape so it doesn't contact anything. You can pull the pin out easily by using a paperclip to press the small pin release on the fan header.
Okay, it'll probably arrive later this week or early next week so I'll write again if it doesn't work, thanks for the help!
I'm on a very low budget so I'm gonna try to get by with the stock one but if I start having problems, I'll be sure to try it out, thanks for the suggestion!
You're welcome. For the record, I've regularly put 95w processors under 65w heatsinks using this method without an issue as long as all the fans were forced to 100%. Only the super-hot 4790k didn't like this and would throttle under load so I had to upgrade its cooler.
It should work fine as long as it is a genuine used chip. Anything sold as 'new' is going to be fake/full of malware/doa.
Got the cpu, it works but it is running quite hot, probably because the thermal paste was so old and it was only a tiny bit of it so might have to get some new fresh thermal paste but other then that it works, so thank you very much for the help!Nice. You should be in great shape. Be sure to post back and let us know how it went!
If you didn't use fresh paste, that's the real problem--I wouldn't run the system like that as you might burn it up. Get some paste--best buy has some good stuff for like $7 that you can just get and go home and install immediately. You should see temps drop dramatically with proper paste.
Yup, already ordered some paste, I'm sure it will be better when I apply that so thanks again for all the help!
