ok well i brought a Intel Core 2 Duo 8600 and a fan (cooler master Hyper 212 Plus) and they both arrived today .. however...
the fan doesnt fit allthough it said it should, not sure if its just me or not though, got a Nvidia nForce 650i SLI chipset based MSI P6n SLI not that fussed as it was only 20 quid ... however ...
.. when i put the cpu in with the fan that came with it (bog standard intel one) and turned on the pc all the lights came on and all the fans span up and ran fine, however it seemed like the pc wasnt booting at all, just getting a no signal on the moniter and didnt get the usal start up bleeps, put the old cpu back in and hey presto it all works. I've checked and double checked the set up and it all seems ok however it just refuses to boot!
and help greatfully apriciated! :isadizzy:
