hi, i tried changing the cooler on a hp computer that i upgraded but it got a backplate that cant be removed looks like its been glued on. anybody know a cooler that will keep a intel xeon x5450 cool and fit with the stock backplate ? thanks
it runs slightly hot 70-75 c under load max temp is 70 c im running the cooler fan at 1500 rpm maybe chaning it to a pwm fan that can run at higher rpm could help since its easy to change the fan on this cooler
yeah im kind of impressed that this cooler can keep this 120 w tdp cpu Close to safe temp, it wouldnt be a problem if its only loud under load, i guess i should have gotten a 95 w e5450 instead of this x5450 that is 120 w. thanks
