hi guys a further update for you ive installed the replacement cooler    and all is well temps are now down to 35'c idle on the cpu.     I also fitted the 3960x and that's also running perfectly fine   so id say this is now solved,   thanks again for all the help    now to try an NVMe card next lol.
Hi guys, I'm wondering what's the best CPU I can stick in this machine? One more question, does anyone have the original restore DVD's? Yes, I know I can just download the drivers from Dell but I'm after the original wallpapers. Thanks for any help
