Hello everyone!
I've been having some trouble with my desktop computer's CPU overheating. A friend of mine believes there is an air bubble or something in the thermal past and I should re-apply it. I have an AMD A6-5400K and my friend said if I want to replace the stock cooler this would be a good time to do so, and said the stock can be a bit difficult to snap back in without messing up the paste. He recommended this cooler: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118223
So my questions are: Is that^^ cooler compatible with my AMD A6-5400K CPU? I believe my case will be big enough, but is there a way to make sure? In the compatibility column of the specifications page on Newegg, it doesn't mention the FM2 socket as being compatible. My friend specifically recommended that cooler, and said it would be good with my CPU? And will this cooler come with thermal paste already applied? Or must buy some paste and apply it myself?
Thank you in advance! Any help is appreciated!
Cheers
Steve
