are you runing the original cooler on the processor if so changing that can make a big diffrence iam runing a zalman 9700 navdia cooler it still comes with the 4 wire plug so it will alter the fans speed when the temp goes up or down
you just have to make sure you have room in your case for it

iam runing a mini tower and got one in quit easy

keep the side of the case on so air follw will be better

there is no external power need for the cooler just use the 4 wire plug that will conect to your mother board

iam runing a mini asus tower and it fits fine in mine
