Hi guys,
I've obtained a Turion 64 MT28 1.6 GHz for my old MSI K8MM3 H. It's a socket 754. It works, it's all fine. But I can't, for the love of God, find any type od cooler that would fit it. There's plenty of 754 coolers out there but since this CPU has naked die (same as the old Athlons XP) they never reach the CPU surface. In some articles from the Turion era, I found out that there were two fans from Thermaltake made just for this CPU. And the there should be Zalman 7000 (preferably) or 7700 that fits the purpose. I can't find any of these anywhere. Does anyone know if I can use another model? I mean something simillar to Zalman 7000? It's a low profile machine so I can't use any tower coolers. I'm using the AMD stock cooler without the MB bracket, only placed on top of the CPU resulting in temperature of 31°C which is all good (CPU has only 25W). But that's obviously not a sustainable solution 😀 Thanks a bunch.
