As a disclaimer, this thread is purely for the sake of the lols. I already have an aftermarket cooler installed and am not going to permanently implement this in my system.
So I was looking at the stock cooler for the FX8320 and notice that it actually has some really decent copper and fins on it (The copper comes in direct contact!). This being said, how could I mod the heatsink to get better cooling?
The mount on the heatsink supports a 70mm fan if I'm correct. However, the actual fins spread about 93mm. I'm wondering if this can be modded to support something like the Noctua NF-A8 (80mm).
Once again, this is NOT for the purpose of implementing in my system and is just a silly side-project I wanted to look in to. If I find a solution (or try out a solution one of you propose) I'll be more than happy to share benchmarks and results comparing it to the temps the unmodded cooler acheived.
