Would i need a heatsink for said upgrade or would the current one be good enough?

HairyQueen 11/26/21 3:31:50 AM #4:	https://www.logicalincrements.com/ Look up your current CPU if its there and find what looks good based on your price range. Then check if its compatible with your MOBO, if you have enough power supply, etc. Id suggest getting a heat sink fan if youre going to be upgrading manually anyway, assuming you have room for it --- Good vibes only <cite>HairyQueen posted [p:960361008] in thinking o...
