Do you mean, "
Heat Sink Fan" and "
Heat Sink"? Usually, it's just abbreviated as
HSF.
"
cooler master EVO? thermaltake?" - those are brand names of the high-end PC-parts manufacturers.
Can I use or adapt for a PC with CPU FX6300 AM3+? Has anyone tried it?
The stock HSF definitely wont fit, but..
Those branded HSF have a "
universal mounts" to fit in any CPU socket, but in most cases, only one type can fit in the designated Motherboard Types (
Depending on the CPU Socket).
However, the mounting holes might not match the dimensions of that ASIC's board; the height of the Heat Sink can also be an issue, the gap between the metal plate of the HS and the Processor should be a few micrometers (
to be filled by thermal paste) to be efficient.
Just order a new replacement of those
crap...... (
lol) "
original" fans.
