micro btx board.... no heat sink???

lstotler · 03-01-2007, 12:51 AM

So I bought a micro btx board and got me a 2.4 intel core 2 duo and i just can not find a heat sink and fan that will attach to this mother board. Anybody having this same issue? Or does anybody know of some that will work and that are good? I"d really appreciate the help!!

You have to buy a BTX heatsink like this one: http://www.crazypc.com/items/50089.html

that's one of the reasons why BTX hasn't taken off.

I have no idea, do you have a microBTX case? It should fit any BTX board, cases is another story.

i have a btx case. seems to be plenty of room in it.

Oh ok, it's a full size (or midsize) BTX tower? That heatsink should fit just fine then.
