Possibly $800 depending on if work ever pays me the 40+ hours they still owe me. It has been almost 3 months of excuses and they asked for my pay stubs a month ago but didn't get those back yet.

Yeah I think at least 10-12 years ago except the graphics card which is a few years newer which replaced my geforce 6600 after it died.

Remarkableriots Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 I'm thinking about replacing the CPU heatsink in this PC and using it in a home build classic arcade cabinet with help from a friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remarkableriots Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 @Massdriver Would any thermal glue work? On newegg they have some from $8-$80. I need to replace the heatsink because my previous one died. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIADRW5UU7231&cm_re=heatsink_glue-_-9SIADRW5UU7231-_-Product https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIADTU5WG4264&cm_re=heatsink_glue-_-9SIADTU5WG4264-_-Product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always use paste. Just find something popular that has a lot of positive reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use this: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608008 I like it because it's easy to spread and tends to do well enough in third party testing.
