Mauricio Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 or would it be easier to install the cpu fan (new) that came with my new cpu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giants745 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I personally prefer 99% but 50% will work. Any type of paper cloth will work. (Napkin or Paper Towel) Coffee filters are fine as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giants745 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I would use the one that can with your new CPU. Stock fans aren't the best as it is, but if you are going to use one. Use the one given with the CPU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Executive Council imasonaz Posted December 18, 2015 Executive Council Share Posted December 18, 2015 Honestly, as long as you get it off pretty well, it isn't a huge issue. I've used toilet paper with pretty good success. Also, second what he said, use the cooler that came with your new CPU, it will be more tuned to the heat the new one can put out.
