Hi :)

I bought a few years ago a desktop with the G840, now I have bought an Intel Core i5-2310 and I was wondering if I can keep the cooler, would it be enough?

Thanks in advance ;)

Hi Maugusto, thanks for your quick reply :)

I couldn't help it and I tested the current cooler :). Idle it's 38/40c, after 15 minutes running the stress test tool called heavyload the temperature was stable at 71c. I know it's a bit high but don't you think it's still safe?

If not, can someone recommend a cheap cooler that can do the trick? I don't want to spend too much money on that computer :)

Thank you very much.


Btw, this is the current cooler

it says that it's ok up to 77w, my CPU is 95w and yes, I already saw that it's a very cheap cooler lol
