Hi everyone. I'm building a media center with the following components:
Motherboard: ASUS M4A785T-M
CPU: AMD Athlon II 235e (TDP 45W)
RAM: 2x 2 Gb kingston 1066 Mhz DDR3
Case: Antec New Solution NSK2480 -EC
In order to get a quiet system, I would like to limit the number of fans (especially smaller ones which are louder). So I wonder if I can use the stock Phenom II 940 heatsink I have (without fan) to cool the CPU. The case has two 12 cm fans, which should create a good airflow. Also the box won't have an hard disk (PXE boot).
Is this possible? May it damage the CPU?
Thanks in advance
