Thread Starter 
i have a 6831fx and need to know if there are any easy mods for better cooling/performance. I currently have it on a zalman cooling pad, startech cpu cooler exhaust fan ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834998465 ) and put a dab of as5 on the cpu die. Are there any other easy mods for better cooling and/or performance i can do?

I bore some 2mm holes in the area where I feel the most heat from the bottom case. This is a bit extreme, not for fainted hearts.

Usually a 1cm elevation (bottom case and work surface) by the top part of the comp would do wonder.

cheers ...
