Foxconn AMD 3400+ Heat Guzzler

· by John Chen

Foxconn is making a big introduction for themselves recently with their budget mobos. Wait, they make heat sinks??? Look at those pretty heat pipes.

“Here’s where everything started to suck. Guess what folks? The fan got in the way. The capacitors around the processor wouldn’t let the heatsink on with the fan installed. It would fit without the fan, but that’s kind of pointless. I was going to try and install the fan on the other side but it screws into a special holder that I couldn’t move, so that was out of the question. This is something you need to check on your motherboard if your thinking about getting this heat sink.”
