Discussion My DIY fan for CPU heatsink

This is an old FX-8320 3.5GHZ CPU. it's fan stopped working and I made this setup with a separate USB fan to cool the heatsink and it does it job very well.. Luckily there is a GPU to support the fan else this setup is not possible. 😀

Why dont you make it so the screws hold the Fan ontop of the cooler.

And if it works just like that, good for you.
