Re: replacement heat sink for acer aspire x1300
well she has just had another tec guy come with another heat sink and fan that's 4 now.
after fitting it she made him test it for about 45 Min's with the new fan and it still got to hot under load with prim 95
even with it doing nothing it was at 58c while he was testing it.
tec guy just said take it back to Curry's and throw it at them as its not fit for purpose and should of been replaced in the firs place.:woowoo::clapping::woowoo:

well if you look at the pic the on board gfx heat sink is right next to the CPU heat sink with about 2mm clearance which does not help when the cpu is at 99c and the psu is melting under load.
the tec guy did say to her that they have had to replace alot of psu and motherboards in these things.
i wonder why, hmmmm it needs a new fan
also she said on the box for the new heat sink it had a serial number then it said unique so i gess acer know there is a problem with these things and try to fob you of with replacement heat sink thay have had manufactured that still dont work to fix the problem as its just not big enough and there is no air flow through the case so it just gets hotter and hotter.
also tec guy still had no software to test anything and she had to show him how to run prim 95:rolleyes:
