Replacement CPU Cooler
I have a E521 with an Athlon 64x2 5600 processer. Ordered a Zerotherm BTF90 which states that it is compatable with and AMD 754/939/AM2 socket. I can't secure it on mobo. Can anyone advise what I need to get in order to install new cooler?

Maybe compatible with the AMD sockets but not with a Dell proprietary motherboard.And nVidia Geforce 6150 LE is your integrated graphics.shesagordie

The Nvidia GeForce 6150LE is the chipset, not the integrated graphics.

Yep, so it seems, then Dell's specifications for the E521 are incorrect, because they list only the Nvidia GeForce 6150LE as the Chipset, not the GeForce 6150/nForce 430.
Of cause, it's not the first time, Dell has published the wrong specifications. :(

- One of my recent experiences was regarding the E 520. The online documents show that the psu has a 4 pin connector ,yet some members here reported having only sata power connectors, and no note was added to the documents stating that different models were used..

I agree and it can be "very" annoying at times, this is one of those times. :)

I read about the same thing, also.
As the new systems are all SATA, it makes sense, not to include a Molex 4-pin connector in the wiring configuration, but unless Dell notes this in their specifications, then we are left in the dark. :(
