Phx-Rush Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 Upgraded the CPU after I modded the fan (M17x CPU Fan Upgrade/Mod (2CFM->10.4CFM)) mod by AngieAndretti. temps are cool and the mod was pretty straight forward. Very happy camper brah<!-- google_ad_section_end --> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
