XPS 8940, Better 3rd party cooler
Hello there
I would greatly appreciate any help to find a new/better 3rd party cooler for my XPS 8940. It came with the thin and small stock cooler and is overheating the whole time. I got a i9-10900 processor with 128 GB of RAM and I need this computer to generate some GIS layers. These jobs take 2-4 hrs every time and I can see that the processor is throttling or C° 97+ all the time.
I tried the Noctua 15S but the problem is there is no space for the bracket under the motherboard. The stock fan screws directly into the chassis from above.
Thank you very much

Interesting results with that Artic. You can check my YouTube video I shared but I went with the Noctua NH-D9L and the amount of hot air blowing out the back from the additional fans is quite impressive. I haven't tried a multicore run on Cinebench R23.
(Ryzen 5950 is an impressive CPU!)
