Aedan

very true

I'm talking about a ~5in think All-In-One. they both fit on the board and I can put the back on with the beefer heatsink but it won't look very good. I'm not worried about the clearance or anything, just the temperature gain. Thank you for responding anyhow.

Ok awesome! that's exactly what I wanted to hear, Thanks!

TL;DR: I got the wrong heatsink for my AIO and the proper part has only one instead of two heatpipes, Will installing the proper part hurt my overall temperatures for an A10-5700? I'm upgrading an HP pavilion 23-b010 aio with an A10-5700, the best-for-the-socket apu that has a reasonable TDP for an AIO. Jumping through all the necessary hoops (new OEM board and heatsink). everything installs fine and runs. however when I go to put the casing back on, it appears the heatsink gets in the way. after some research it looks like I got the wrong model heatsink (it was bent anyway, so no big deal getting a new one) But here's where I have a question; the proper model heatsink only has one heatpipe instead of the 2 that mine has, is that something I should worry about seeing as how I'm running an A10 APU? If needed I have much more info but I don't feel like typing it all out right now The first image is the heatsink I have now, the second is the correct part

I got a cheap wireless mouse that came with my keyboard and that's a cheapo one too... for my head phones I have a pair of $17 TekNmotions

I thought it was funny that when Linus ran out of the where house he just left his $3000+ equipment, I wouldn't care if the cops were coming I would at least grab the projector and laptop!

I want the Keyborad because i'm a game dev who's pc has recently given up the ghost and i am currently building a new one
