I upgraded my old CPU to an AMD FX 6300 six core today and I'm quite happy with it. However, the default fan for it is quite loud when playing high end games. I looked up good replacements and came across the cooler master hyper 212 evo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099
I'm thinking of buying it, but I was wondering if I could unscrew the new fan from it and screw it on to the default heatsink the new cpu came with. Or would I have to replace the default heat sink as well? I've never replaced a heat sink before where I would have to reapply thermal paste.
I also read some reviews that said that it's quite large. Would it fit nicely in my Gigabyte GA78LMTS2P ? : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0054OWT0G/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
