Hello,
I am trying to find a Fan and Heatsink upgrade for my AMD Athlon 64x2 4400+ CPU In a Acer computer. The fan and heatlink in there now obviosly isn't enough because It sounds like a jet airplane getting ready to take of and if I'm watching a video feed it actually shuts off the computer becuase it gets to hot. Can someone give me a good suggestion for a snap in replacement that will solve this problem for not to expensive? Help. Thanks.

No problem. I actually wanted to clarify, its not really a "snap in" replacement. You will have to remove the motherboard and take off the CPU fan bracket. The cooler will come with instructions with how to do so.
