So i have a pc with a old Athlon 64 x2 5200+ (2.7 Ghz stock) In it and it's really old and runs hot. (35-50 idle) (ambient temp about 27.5 c°)
The pc overheated all the time with the stock cooler even after changing thermal paste.
( I even hooked the cpu fan to a molex so it runs @ full speed and its a 12v fan so it was super fast and loud but still i was getting terrible temps.)
So i bought a Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo. It's a well know cooler with great reviews and is affordable. But the problem is that this is a old pc with a old motherboard and it has no 4-pin connectors. Is there any way to connect the Hyper 212 to the 3-pin connector?
I can probably do something like this except the 3pin would be 4 pin
i think this is the thing im looking for (cant really tell if there's 4 pins in the casing)
All help would be appreciated
