My HTPC has been overheating and the fan has been making alot noise recently and not neing doing its job.

Time for some arctic paste and a new heatsink!!. But im a bit lost of what one to get for my HTPC. Ive been looking around but I cant find the measurements of the stock heatsink.
The case I have is Micro ATX.

Dimensions (D /W / H): 393/365/100 mm

Ill prob be ordering from amazon uk or some where else in Europe. Does anyone have any suggestions on what fan to get?
Bearing it mind I want something decent at a good price.

Thanks alot

So I hear I can run xbmc off my old commodore 64.

Pretty cool......pretty really cool

This one "SCYTHE Big Shuriken 2 Rev.B" might be your best choice for A6-3850....
