Bought the new i7 processor but want to upgrade the heatsink to something with a fan but I'm seeing that I might need a specific type of heatsink. What am I looking for? Thanks guys, I'm already up to 32gb of RAM and a SSD and a MSI Gaming GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB GDRR5 128-bit externally. So far it's a beast but I'll need a heatsink upgrade I think. 

Came for the 8300, stayed for the free lunch and tote bag.

@JakeSteaD,

 

Welcome to our HP User Forum!

 

A really good question, and one of the best (and easiest) mods I have seen how to upgrade your heatsink's performance is outlined in this YouTube video: HP Elite 8300 Small Form Factor Heatsink Modification - YouTube.

 

Hope this was helpful.

 

Kind Regards,
