Anyone know what HSF combinations will fit in a Compaq Presario (mini-ATX I believe)? I'd like to put an SK6 or something along those lines on it...I'm sure the 800's and 900's are way too big. Thanks for any info you have.

Why do you want to replace it? You can't OC Compaq's you know...

no, I'm not trying to OC that thing. It's got one of those really tiny fans on it, that probably only push 15 cfm (just a guess), and the PC sits in a room that is a converted garage, so its a little warm (like 85-87). Tends to lock up during the summer months here in Phoenix AZ.

Why don't you replace the fan on top of the heatsink then? Or install a couple more case fans to increase the airflow in your case.

I'm sure replacing the fan would help a bit, but I'd much rather put a nice copper block on it...like a sk6 or something. just don't know if it'll fit
