So, Computer gurus, I need your help.
I went to Newegg and found that the fan I need is out of stock. That one is located here.
Now, I don't have an issue buying a new heatsink/fan combo...but here is where my computer knowledge starts to fall off. There are so many sizes, specs, etc that I am out of my depth. Below are the CPU specs for my machine taken from Speccy. Any ideas on what I can buy/what would fit?
CPU
AMD FX-6300
Cores 6
Threads 6
Name AMD FX-6300
Code Name Vishera
Package Socket AM3+ (942)
Technology 32nm
Specification AMD FX-6300 Six-Core Processor
One other thing. Going to the specifications page of the fan (looks EXACTLY like what is on my PC, by the way) it states compatible with AM3, yet speccy says I have an AM3+, so yeah, confused there.
